Running docker and docker-compose commands isn’t difficult. What IS difficult and (time-consuming) is sifting through a bunch of articles about how to set up Docker properly on macOS and/or Windows without relying on Docker Desktop.
Maybe it’s not represented on HN, but a lot of developers just want to get their work done and not get sucked into the complexity of the myriad ways they can set up their development machines, so a “one-click” installer works well for them even with some downsides (that may not even become issues for them).
