Why does it feel like Docker is moving backwards?

• Docker Compose

  384 32,312 9.6 Go

  Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  

My docker compose doesn't say that and I use the last stable release docker-compose version 1.29.2 listed at https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

• dockerize

  7 4,912 4.9 Go

  Utility to simplify running applications in docker containers

I was also reading about healthcheck as well as depends_on. It seems that now they want to move to using tools such as dockerize to handle these basic things, and I don't really get why something that directly has to do with the fact that Docker Compose is managing the infrastructure should be moved to near application-level logic. It adds more boilerplate in a decentralized place, without actually decoupling since there's more than enough to configure in the Compose file anyway.
