Understood, and I'm fairly certain that a large corporation that uses and markets Docker extensively will look to acquire it sometime in the future. Docker's ubiquity is exactly what makes it valuable.
Could be any of the FAANG companies but I posit Microsoft since they noticeably try to make Docker on Windows a seamless experience and also push Docker within their cloud offerings to modernize legacy apps towards Azure. They've already purchased a large community-oriented company (GitHub) and have acquired companies at a surprisingly high price (LinkedIn).
