Yup. I'm convinced VCs came calling for their ROI so Docker panic-sold their enterprise business to Mirantis. After that they were left with Docker Desktop (aka. burning trash) and their de-facto position as the image registry of note. Once the Docker Hub rate limits went into effect, my company started enforcing fully qualified image names to know exactly what we were pulling from docker.io, and using alternative registries whenever possible.

The hardest part of getting off Docker the company was breaking the mindset of "containers == docker".
