Sibling comments cover the details but to put it simply: there are two definitions of the work "Docker":
1. [common, informal] "An OCI container".
2. [pedantic, strictly accurate] "A set of tools for building & interacting with OCI containers".
This article is talking about the latter definition.

There's also Docker, Inc. the company and there used to be the Docker Enterprise product (although I believe newer versions are now Mirantis Enterprise which bought that part of the business). Docker is pretty much the a textbook example of why you probably shouldn't use the same word for a lot of different things.

I can't tell you, especially going back a few years, the number of people who claimed to hate Java with a passion because as far as they were concerned it was that security-shredding dialog box that would pop up demanding to be updated. (OK, there are probably other reasons to dislike Java as well but I agree it's a lot of different things.)
