i love Docker, but i think people by and large forget that OCI images are a thing, and that ultimately we are talking about slightly complex tarballs here.
i do think Docker is squandering an insanely privileged position here, even if i'm not particularly invested/dogmatic personally about Docker as a brand. only every so often does a company become a member of the popular lexicon -- an Uber instead of a Taxi, a Kleenex instead of a tissue -- we pull Docker images every day even though they are actually OCI images, or hosted on GitHub.
this privilege is insanely huge and it is one granted through technical aptitude, intense problem solving, commitment to open source and tooling, and so on, that the Docker project displayed for its first two decades or so of existence.
where it fell off that wagon as a brand, and misaligned with its technology, i don't know. this is just one person's 2c.
