Very fair and reasonable position...

BUT, I am a developer and I like to hack and some days I need to hack on
vanilla RHEL.  Where someone has challenged me with "well, that might be
fine in a container, but I still use VMs or bare-metal, so how does RHEL
behave...."

And I HATE having 2 RHEL VMs, one that I use daily (minishift CDK) and one
that takes 30+ minutes to create just to look at pure RHEL scenarios.

I DO really, really need the ability to have multiple minishift "instances"
on the same laptop, so I can have Demo #1 env vs Demo #2 env but that is
different from also having access to a RHEL instance to test things at a
pure OS level.

Granted, I can totally whack OpenShift at the RHEL level but I know that I
am playing dangerously and that should be encouraged in development.   The
primary purpose of minishift is for devs to learn, experiment, hack, feel
pain, learn and hack so more.
