No, in pretty much everything.
All three examples you gave have substantial UI and other bundled assets. For example, the Docker Desktop app is about 2GB on my computer, yet included assets make up at least 1.2GB, and a further 600MB is a bundle containing the UI, which itself is about 100MB of binaries.
If you actually open those bundles (as they're called on macos) and take a look inside, you'll see that they don't even contain all of their assets, anyways, often linking to frameworks contained in ~/Library
This is a very layperson explanation, btw, but I assure you that "in modern desktop software, code is a tiny bit of the total size of the application" is a very true statement.
