This makes a lot of sense to me.

Most of Docker's products are being superseded by other tools in the linux/enterprise world (buildah, podman, kubernets, etc), but the one area I think Docker still provides actual value to the industry is their Windows Docker distribution. I'm a developer running linux on a team filled with Windows users, and the fact that we can all share dockerfiles is a big benefit. Without docker there's a good chance I'd have to switch to windows or just find a new job.

Strange as it seems, I think the industry is moving such that soon enough most actual Docker users will be on Windows anyways. So why not just embrace that?

Though AWS ECS is run on docker and will be for the foreseeable future.
Actually ECS Fargate 1.4.0 just switched to Containerd!

“Containerd is replacing Docker as the container runtime”

true, I should have specified "ECS on EC2", that will not likely be changing anytime soon.
