I mean, that's totally fair response. I should have provided a caveat, "historically speaking", that Docker has lacked support for rootless containers. But yes, solutions have emerged recently.

Podman out the gate has had the facility, which I think it used as a means to distinguish itself. This is great, because maybe that helped push Docker in the right direction.

Not really recently. Both were implemented almost simultaneously in circa June 2018.

Rootless Docker wasn't merged/released until Docker 19.03, though , but still it is already nearly 4 years old.

The older I get, the more it is that "4 years" ago feels like 4 days ago. You calling out my perspective of "recently" is totally fair, because to me, it feels like recently, whereas truthfully maybe not so. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the facts.
