The big corp I work for has looked for self-hosting alternatives after their pricing move. There was nothing in Docker actually locking us in them, it was just convenient. I for one haven't touched any official Docker stuff for a while now, free alternatives fill the gap pretty well.
It is brilliant, until it's not, I'm very sure they are trying to squeeze as much as they can from the cash cow before it dies, there's almost no reason to actually pay Docker for what it is, and they lost the support from the techies who championed them 10 years ago after these pricing changes. I was one of them, had been using Docker since pre-1.0 days...

DockerHub still seems to have the most images out there and is what many people reach for when they need to run some pre-built image. I have my own Nexus which acts as a caching proxy and is also where I upload my own custom container images to use on my own servers, but that sort of setup probably isn't for everyone. Also, Docker Desktop still seems to be the most popular way to run containers in Windows, unless something like Podman Desktop or Rancher Desktop seem stable enough for you.
