Look, I get it, Docker has its downsides and it wasn’t meant for local development.

But it just works (most of the times). I can worry about getting shit done, instead of messing around with web servers, interpreters and package managers (it’s fun the first couple of times, but then I want to get to the code).

The problem is that Docker on Mac sucks, because it’s basically a VM running Linux, and it eats up most of my 8 gigs of RAM (yeah I know, 2020).

Maybe, what Apple really needs is something like WSL2.

WSL2 basically is a VM running Linux :) There's actually Windows-native docker which runs Windows containers. But it's not very useful, because there are very few images compiled for Windows.

Docker is useful because of those thousands of companies publishing "official" images. You can't expect them to publish those images for every possible platform. They target Linux x64. May be they'll target Linux ARM, may be not.

Well, you’re right, but the hypervisor under-the-hood is better.
