Because NATting encapsulates while routing doesn't? And encapsulation is the whole idea behind containers. Until everything is ready for IPv6 (lol, yeah right), NATting seems the only way to me.

You can encapsulate just fine with a routed architecture.

You still need NAT to talk to the outside world (your services are behind a load balancer either way).
