Are you from 2018? Everyone running OpenShift is using CRI-O and that footprint is not small. We made the switch in our EKS and vanilla k8s clusters in 2021. Docker has now even made their API OCI-compliant in order to not be left behind. And the point is that most people don't want a docker feature-for-feature running in prod. The attack surface is simply too large. I don't need an API server running as root on all my container hosts.

Use docker on your laptop, sure. Its time in prod is over.

Agreed. Tons of obsolete assumptions in this thread. We have been using Podman / OpenShift in production and never ran into a use case where Docker was needed.
