This is just another thing in a laundry list of things from Docker that feel developer-hostile. Does it make sense? Sure, it might, given the old architecture of Docker Hub.
I'm biased (i.e., co-founder of Depot [0]) and don't have the business context around internal Docker things. So this is just my view of the world as we see it today. There are solutions to the egress problem that negates needing to push that down to your users. So, this feels like an attempt to get even more people onto their Docker Desktop business model and not explicitly related to egress costs.
This is why when we release our registry offering, we won't have this kind of rate limiting. There are also solutions to avoiding the rate limits in CI. For example, our GitHub Actions runners come online with a public unique IP address for every job you run. Avoiding the need to login to Docker at all.

There are always lots of comments like this providing extremely vague prescriptions for other people's business needs. I'd love to hear details if you have them, otherwise you're just saying "other companies have found ways to get someone else besides their customers to pay for egress costs" without any context for why those people are willing to pay the costs in those contexts.
