I can't believe someone would write an article like this without addressing if this software is compatible with M1 macs. Turns out, to my surprise, that it is. I haven't tested it, but that's very interesting.
Security via isolation isn't really the main benefit of containers though. The reason why the node docker container has over a billion downloads isn't because people fear the security implications of installing and running node directly.
Many of the things you mention there are actually not provided by Docker. The clear and well defined format is OCI, which stands for “Open Container Initiative” (Docker was a founding member, but they aren’t the only one). The underlying runtime for containers that Docker uses is containerd which is an open source product. Docker provides… Docker Hub, and a client app. Docker certainly isn’t the only option, there’s also Kubernetes, Podman, or even just (shudder) containerd itself. Heck, you could write your own.
