Except you don't need Docker Inc. for that
Exactly. Build your docker image with the free open source tools then push it onto Azure, for example. How does Docker the company see any revenue here? Or if you are running on-prem with DC/OS in a private cloud. I don't know anyone using Docker's own cloud, and why would you? They need to sell either services or an "Enterprise" version that is better than what you can do without them. I think containers are definitely the future, but I also see containers as being just a commodity, no more exciting that Makefiles and RPM are now. The money will be in running them, and Azure, AWS et al will have that stitched up.

Docker has at least one product (Docker data center) that is aimed at enterprises. I know because I was almost going to go work there on that product. It's not just a container company.
