I deploy on linux, but dev on macOS without a vm or docker or anything. If you're not doing anything OS dependant, which most web apps don't, you can run everything natively.

Isolation is another important reason people use docker.

I don't want my developers to have to manage a complex dev stack and it's dependencies.

I would argue that this is the primary use case for local docker dev these days.
