Is it though? Aside from cloud vendors (Azure/AWS/GCP) who's the "huge market"?

The cloud market is pretty darn huge, why are you dismissing it? Aside from the public cloud vendors, containers are very much a thing in the private cloud space too (OpenShift, Pivotal, etc).

Exactly a good model is puppet labs. They have a enterprise version and a go to consultancy
They seem to be surviving. I hope in this age of the cloud
From memory docker and some of its engineers and managers where at logger heads with redhat and google see rocket, systemd containers, podman and k8s This forced docker to commoditise itβs tech or docker was slowly boiled into commoditised component

Huge? Don't think so, not now. Name me one of these companies with more than $100M revenues per year. None. It's still a tiny market.
Considering Docker literally developed the underlying technology, and a lot of the complexity and capabilities of Kubernetes come from its design, they had a tremendous advantage that was squandered.
Google clearly had a huge advantage too since they have been using containers for years. But Docker certainly was in a good place.
