Yes it does, but it's very transparent - until you run into a few things that make it obvious, eg if you disk-image size limits, or memory limits.

I work with a few people who believed it was native, and used it for quite a while, until things started going wrong and we logged in to the vm to fix them.

Kinda my point. The reason docker is popular is simply that most of the devs are lazy, not very knowledgeable in the actual underlying technology and very short-sighted.

And docker marketing has very effectively used that to their advantage.
