You are right that if you use the container as a Service Locator, it's more or less a glorified static factory. For lots of reasons I consider this an anti-pattern.
One of the wonderful benefits of Constructor Injection is that it makes violations of the Single Responsibility Principle glaringly obvious.
When that happens, it's time to refactor to Facade Services. In short, create a new, more coarse-grained interface that hides the interaction between some or all of the fine-grained dependencies you currently require.
