      It has happened multiple times in our company that people not familiar with this plugin will add a single container and then forget to define a container step.

      I believe it would be sensible to default to the users container instead of the jnlp container if there is no container step specified, especially when there is only one user container specified.
      This will allow them to not have to worry about the internals of how the plugin works, specifically that a jnlp container is added.

      It is especially confusing when the first example does not mention the container step

      podTemplate(label: 'mypod') {
    node('mypod') {
        stage('Run shell') {
            sh 'echo hello world'
        }
    }
}

      P.S This seems to be a duplicate of JENKINS-41109 but that was closed without a fix 8 months ago?

          By default it uses the jnlp container so it behaves like any other Jenkins agent. The container step is limited in functionality

          Can we discuss how to let this more convenient? Such as providing an option for the users that choose one container as the main execution container.

          I created a separate issue for implementing the default container UI input at https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-64778.
