Your Linux VM instance is Linux, and I don't think it's an unreasonable request to run a VM on your desktop machine, using the virtualization software provided by the OS.

Under virtualization (or emulation if amd64 on arm64). May as well spin up that VM.

I'm not sure what your point is. virtualized or not you can run docker on any mainstream operating system using any mainstream hardware and get near native performance.

Outside of development, running containers on macOS/Windows doesn't make sense. And macOS is using emulation via Rosetta, not virtualization on M-series.
