I suppose the difference is that on MacOS, the steps are more involved (since you also need a VM to run the containers) - in Linux, the wrapper tool is superfluous as you can just work with containers directly on your OS. The fact that Macs are the primary developer machine in many environments, with Linux a distant third, probably helps too.
