I use OrbStack too and think it's great software, both for running containers and stuff like having a quick Alpine environment. However, I don't see the point of running Docker within Alpine. Wouldn't that defeat the optimizations they have done? What benefits do you get?

Many docker containers are optimized to run as Alpine on other systems. You get the benefit that it runs on Alpine itself.
