Its not intentionally hard. If you see a way to simplify it, pull requests are always welcome. But running multiple services in a single docker container is generally a bad idea.
All components that are needed to run a Lemmy instance could be provided as single stack and the containers could be made configurable using environment variables (usernames, passwords, and DB locations). Database and reverse proxy should be handled completely separated from the "Lemmy containers" and the "Lemmy stack". manually editing upstream files before composing the containers should be avoided.
Since I do not use MS GitHub I cannot help with issues, PRs, or anything else there, sorry.
This is what I think about. While those 3 containers contain different programs: are they really different services and not just different components of the same service?
