It really depends whether the parent is on Linux (where your description would be correct), or on MacOS, where running a container involves first booting up a Linux VM under the hood and having it exchange files/network traffic with the host with tons of overhead (not to mention the pile of shit Electron-based Docker Desktop app that feels like it takes as much memory as the Linux VM itself).
