I'm not sure we've ever really looked at systemd-nspawn from a subscription
service point of view.  For Docker and Podman, we've always viewed those
containers as just processes running on the system (this is a notable
difference from how VMs are viewed).  Containers inherit access to
subscription services via the host they're on.  That's why UBI should see
additional content available when it's running on a RHEL system as opposed
to something like CentOS or Ubuntu.

The problem wouldn't be running systemd-nspawn content.  The problem would
be getting the content into the container you're building though honestly
I've never used nspawn and I'm not even sure what storage format it uses.
