Open source community detests dilettante attempts at rent seeking by building mediocre wrappers over commodity software.
Docker did not invent Linux containers. They did not invent namespaces or chroots.
You'll be hard pressed to name the things they did invent and those things have long ago left Docker to hang dry (OCI imagespec).
OrbStack is built by a single person and it provides an objectively better experience than Docker Desktop, built presumably by dozens of full time engineers.
People detest incompetence and rent seeking. That they do.
The lack of important contributions of Docker can be best summarized by all the alternatives that popped up in no time. With Kubernetes now defaulting to CRI-O, modern container stack has precisely zero Dockerisms.
