Docker is likely saying that it doesn’t natively run on ARM yet. Apple’s demo was likely using Rosetta. That said this is all speculation at this point. We’ll know tomorrow.

Docker on Mac needs hypervisor, but Apple says Rosetta 2 doesn't support x86 hypervisor [1]. Therefore it is not possible right now.

A Linux virtual machine is required to run Docker on macOS.

Linux containers need a Linux kernel to function.

And Linux runs on Arm just fine. <some latin shit>, Android.

I agree, which is why rosetta is irrelevant here.
