I'm not going to challenge your point but Docker also found itself in the unusual position of being commoditised before it could figure out how to make money. It's not a novel thought, it's been discussed here plenty enough that their business model vanished under their feet, especially when kubernetes entered the fray. I can see why people aren't happy with how things have played out. Docker does need to earn its crust and pay its people, and this is strictly for the desktop UI, team space, and nascent collaboration feature with dev environments. It's a value-add over barebones docker but, and this is what is probably frustrating, it targets Windows and Mac users exclusively because it's not as easy to run docker without their software. Let's not also forget that they made optional upgrades a paid-for feature, while at the same time releasing software with showstopping bugs and regressions. Their response was literally to pay them money so you could deny an automatic upgrade. So my sympathy for Docker finding itself in this position is fairly limited, knowing that.
