Because procurement processes suck and developers don't want to deal with them. When it's something from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, it's not a problem because those deals are handled at a level that developers don't interact much with and are ingrained as business critical. There's no way we're going to have a contract with Docker by January so I fully expect a "Please uninstall Docker Desktop" email long before that.
- nickjj 5y agoWhat if you asked the person who would write that email to instead ask Docker if they can extend the grace period for you until you can get a contract set up? Since it's unclear if / how Docker can enforce their TOS I'm guessing they would be happy to extend it because the other avenues lead to you not using DD or using it without paying.

I think OP's principle is that it will probably just be easier to switch tools than to push the $42k annual spend through the organisational mud to get it approved (depending on how muddy the mud is). This is particularly true for a single developer that wants to start using docker desktop, if the rest of the org isn't already using it.
