For sure, and nh1402 is working on sailfish and also posting things within this thread. Perhaps we need a separate thread for sailfish discussion to avoid confusion.

Why waste time writing code twice when you can write it once and have it work on both?
Sure, but nspawn also handles virtual networking, whitelisting shared directories, and a bunch of other useful looking things without having to write any code at all. Since Android doesn't use systemd, there is no 'lock-in' from using nspawn, and it looks useful for exploratory hacking to get something working quickly.
