Sort of. In the case of podman desktop, that is true because you can opt to just install the cli podman if you prefer.
But in the world of Docker, they force end-users on Mac (and I think windows) to install docker through docker desktop even if you don't ever touch the GUI. I don't use the GUI ever, but can't find a way to install docker on Mac outside of the GUI. Maybe there's a way, but at least on Docker's website it seems to be the only way and at my company with ~100 devs no one else has figured it out either.
