​His main argument is that not using a virtualenv can lead to version
conflicts. Eg: app you installed with apt will probably break if it depends
on packages installed with pip. Not to mention the metadata and uninstall
mess that come with that.

A sound argument. However, none of that applies to a Docker image. You'd
have a single set of dependencies, so what's the point of using unnecessary
tools and abstractions. :-)​
