It's well know Docker is far from being profitable. This is somewhat represents how ultimately money always win on open source one way or another.

That's a valid comment... for a different discussion. The actual issue here is that Docker's business model is falling apart, with alternative container runtimes (cri-o, rkt, etc.) and alternative orchestrators (mostly k8s) eating their lunch. And all of those are open source too.
