That's MacOS' fault, in fairness. MacOS does not support containers or the Linux abi in general so you're forced to run docker containers in a Linux VM, with all the CPU and I/O penalties.

It’s MacOS’s fault for not being Linux?

Microsoft added native container support to Windows. Apple has chosen to essentially ignore them.
Microsoft is a much more developer focused company IMHO. Still kinda astonishing how many developers choose MacOS.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Windows “native container support“ is only for Windows images right? Which no one uses, since 99% of popular software like Redis, Nginx, whatever are for Linux

I always wondered what percentage of apps in production are using Windows images compared to Linux.

There’s probably not a huge demand for native MacOS containers. Even MacOS VMs are a rarity.

MacOS VMs are only a rarity because you're only allowed to run them on Apple hardware. If that wasn't the case we'd likely even have cloud support for the platform and Cross-Platform development would be significantly easier.
