Macs need virtualization to run guest OSes since Macs are big in the pro and developer market. There is no current use for VMs on a phone, so they probably just left that module out in past chips.

Developers are something absurd like 20% of their install base, so Docker gets a first class seat at the table from a product requirements perspective? Albeit in aarch64 mode.

Developers != Someone using macOS as pretty Linux to deploy on Linux.

Also I am yet to see any benefit with docker in Apple platforms ecosystem.
