Docker / Containers are native to Linux within it's kernel, to run them on macOS you have to run a Linux VM which is overhead.
The unified memory is indeed more efficient due to it's architecture but it can't solve not having enough ram to hold your software in.

That's not the point; just saying I run some services typical macOS users don't, so my Linux laptop isn't necessarily lighter than a default mac. Either way, it's perfectly possible to have a functioning 8GB machine, even with Chrome and an electron app. And it's certainly possible with 16GB.
