for me it seemed:

- they stopped evolving the Dockerfile. Really this is the complexity killer that developers just "get".

(also they wouldn't have their entire API cloned if they were moving it forward)

- they subtly force everything through docker hub and conveniently forgot to do something like let people have a local repo. (redhat lets you define a local repo with --add-registry)

- telemetry. I went to install it on macos and it started collecting telemetry the moment I launched the installer.

Great points. I think they started requiring an email and sign up too for the Mac download, although if you had a deep link that would still work but if you didn't already have it you had to sign up.
