I think there’s a third problem. Docker on MacOS is still pretty buggy. After all these years there are still issues that cause it to use 30% CPU when idle on my Mac, and I’m sure I’m not alone. If docker on Mac was rock solid then I’d probably look more kindly on this. We aren’t even big enough for this to affect us, it is just one more reason for us to look at how we can remove docker from our desktop infrastructure and replace it with something that makes us more efficient.

I had the same frustrations until the other day I saw a tip to enable 'Use the new Virtualization framework' under Preferences -> Experimental Features. Since then Docker's background CPU usage has dropped to 1% and I no longer bother stopping it when I'm not using it.
