Am not familiar with Rancher Desktop, but briefly looking at their website it has a Docker CLI dependency which surely would land it in the Docker licensing controversy space, no ?

Docker CLI and Docker engine are open source :) Docker Desktop for Windows/Mac are not. So as long as the dependency is on the open source components, AFAIK they'd be fine.
What controversy? It is a replacement for docker Desktop which turned from free to payware for commercial use.

Docker cli is still fair game.

It's containerd and nerdctl by default. You can configure it to use dockerd and docker.
