It’s a long standing hate for me that isn’t limited to just Docker, companies that used “we’re free” to obtain massive growth only to turn around and switch monetization models completely once they’ve become the dominant player in the market. It’s a massive distortion on the market, driving companies that tried to be fiscally sound from the start into irrelevancy while extremely inefficient ventures become the market leaders on account of superior funding.
Or to put it another way, Docker should have been focused on sustainability from the start and not dangled a price they knew couldn’t last in front of people to increase adoption.
