Indeed, especially as a company that has a reputation for producing unstable APIs that break between minor versions.

This is a team that seems to think it is acceptable to return ASCII art and backspaces in their container management APIs: https://github.com/docker/swarm/issues/1214

So, you're right, but they have a tainted reputation. I wish them all the best, but I don't have high hopes.

EDIT: nevermind, found it via one of the linked issues: https://github.com/docker/swarm/issues/1237
