Then everybody realized Docker was just idiosyncratic configuration layered on top of Linux cgroups and if they decide to encumber their base software we will just use the latter directly. And this is how podman/containerd/... came to be. There are no gifts, Docker isn't owed billions for trying to monetize cgroups.

> Then everybody realized Docker was just idiosyncratic configuration layered on top of Linux cgroups That is true and that is why the Docker runtime is still free. However this is about Docker desktop, which is mostly used on Mac and other platforms, where docker actually manages virtual machines etc. And yeah, all software is just a layer on top of moving bits around ... some of those layers create value, some less.
