"Although the idea of containers has been around for a while, Docker, an open source community founded in 2013, was the first to implement it"

This statement isn't entirely accurate. FreeBSD Jails pre-date docker by well over a decade.

"As a result, containers lack persistency."

This is one of the huge advantages of FreeBSD Jails over docker, they are persistent by default. They are also more secure by default. Plus they also run at native speed due to the FreeBSD kernel implementation treating them as a first-class citizen for all this time.
