Just going to assume this is due to how the hypervisor on macOS won't allow dynamic memory allocation to the runtime.

On a Mac, you need to allocate a fixed amount of RAM to Docker, which isn't the case on other platforms where it can dynamically allocate and release as much as your containers demand.

It's very painful in workloads that need Docker. Especially on MacBooks where you can't upgrade the RAM to compensate.

Your assumption is incorrect. This is about Docker Inc starting to charge money for Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/

It certainly was. Yikes.
