Alternatives like Podman and CRI-O continue to gain traction and may replace Docker in various places. For example, Kubernetes used to use Docker, then moved to containerd, and now also support CRI-O. Generally speaking, the core features of "Docker" are such a commodity now that no one was the wiser when Kubernetes stopped using it.
Docker itself is open-source, and has slowly been broken down into modular components that are themselves open-source. For example, most of what "run this Docker container" does has been extracted out into containerd, which is Apache licensed and used by lots of things. The Docker CE engine is now based on Moby, also Apache license, and the docker command line tool is also Apache licensed. I expect these tools to continue to be community-maintained (though maybe without the Docker name) due to their immense popularity even Docker Inc folds.

Theoretically there could be a lot of new options that pop up. There is an Open Container Initiative that has a Runtime Specification that can be implemented. youki is one example of an OCI-compliant container runtime.
You don't need maintainers to stop using npm to import their code as dependencies. Since all you need is the url to the module you could just import directly from github, or even something like https://unpkg.com/ gives you versioned urls to npm packages.
I still build docker containers, but do it reproducibly with Nix and the DX friendly https://devenv.sh/
