That's kind of the point if containers, isn't it?

No definitely not. In fact to this day containers only run on Linux. Your Mac or PC just runs a Linux VM in order to be able to run any containers.
Containers are not meant to make anything OS-agnostic. Containers are just a way of running Linux

Not quite true: Windows containers run natively on Windows. As of Windows 11, even Server 2022 containers can run using process isolation.
Something hilarious to me is that "multi-arch" images are a thing, and can result in the same dockerfile building a Windows image on a Windows PC, and a Linux image on a Linux PC!

This is a red herring and this feature only exists as a Microsoft platform strategy. I don’t know of anyone real using Windows executable docker containers on Windows hosts.
dockerd for windows isn’t even free software, last I looked.
