It’s worth noting there are different kinds of containers out there, and Docker is just one “ecosystem”. Docker on Windows and macOS runs in a VM, which is kind of a bummer because it means you can’t really allocate all your RAM for containers. By default Docker likes to max out at half the system RAM, which of course you can change post-install, but I feel like there’s a trade off or disadvantage in such a scenario vs Docker (or LXC or podman or something else) running on Linux. It might be that the RAM is reserved up-front on Windows and macOS but not on Linux? I’m not sure.
