Debian images use the dash shell as default and does not source .bashrc

This is not exactly a distrobox issue, but here goes:

Debian images use the dash shell by default, and so /bin/sh points to /bin/dash.
When you export an app/bin from a Debian distrobox, the command uses /bin/sh by default, and in this case the dash shell.
Since dash shell does not source .bashrc, any customization you have in there is lost when you launch the application. I have to manually change the shell in exported distrobox app/bin to /bin/bash to fix this.

Example:
The default .bashrc in Fedora add .local/bin (where you put binaries for the local user) to PATH. Also I use asdf and need to source it in .bashrc. All of these are ignored by the VSCode I exported from the distrobox, so it cannot find my Java/Node/Python/etc in PATH. Things work correctly after I manually change /bin/sh to /bin/bash in the application entry (or the launch script if exported as bin).

Turns out it is my problem, closing.
