"The problem is that Docker the technology became so successful that Docker the company struggled to monetize it. When your core product becomes commoditized and open source, you need to find new ways to add value."
No, everything was already open source, other had done it before too, they just made it in a way a lot of "normal" users could start with it, then they waited too long and others created better/their own products.
"Docker Swarm was Docker’s attempt to compete with Kubernetes in the orchestration space."
No, it never was intended like that. That some people build infra/business around it is something completely different, but swarm was never intended to be a kubernetes contender.
"If you’re giving away your security features for free, what are you selling?"
This, is what actually is going to cost their business, I'm extremely grateful for what they have done for us. But they didn't gave themselves a chance.
Their behaviour has been more akin to a non-profit.
Great for us, not so great for them in the long run.
