This is wrong. Docker itself is no longer a container runtime: it has spun out that capability into containerd. Kubernetes can now call Docker’s container runtime (again: containerd) directly instead of going through a redundant docker-shim.

In other words: Kubernetes has dropped Docker’s old container runtime in favor of… Docker’s new container runtime.
