There are differences, but I think most people's code does not expose macOS' suboptimal containerization performance is all. Check my comment sibling to yours. We have noticed very observable differences.

Until Apple adds a kernel-level containerization support (likely: never) then this difference in performance will continue to exist.

That being said, Orbstack really is the best on macOS. Docker Desktop is only slightly slower but much worse as an UX. Colima I appreciate for its full headless nature but it's severely behind in performance, sadly.
