On a Mac, you need to allocate a fixed amount of RAM to Docker, which isn't the case on other platforms where it can dynamically allocate and release as much as your containers demand. It's very painful in workloads that need Docker. Especially on MacBooks where you can't upgrade the RAM to compensate.

Your assumption is incorrect. This is about Docker Inc starting to charge money for Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/
