Docker should never have become a business. There’s virtually nothing there to make a business around, it’s a suite of useful utilities that should have remained a simple open source project.
I switched to podman a while ago and haven’t looked back.

Even with podman, you're going to have to host your images somewhere, right? Right now, the internet infrastructure heavily relies on the good graces of Microsoft (Github, npm), and storage space and network transfer charges are taken for granted.

Torrent based distribution for open source projects and other public initiatives were there long before docker . Apt mirroring has also been there for a long long time . Checksum integrity verification of mirrors have well established workflows . We don’t need good graces of any company to distribute assets .
