I personally love docker. Almost all of it makes sense to me. It's not perfect, but very pragmatic, almost in a blunt way.
On a workstation level, people who really know their way around stuff tend to dislike docker in my experience, and for people who don't its still too difficult. One problem I think it has is that docker - still talking about workstations here - solves mostly problems on the team level, not on an individual level. But individuals tend to regard those problems as 'other peoples problems'.
Another problem is that you can work with docker just fine with barely knowing how it works, until there's a problem. In my experience, developers tend to immediately blame docker for the problem, even though its a misconfiguration of non which they would also have in a native installation.
Still, docker solves a lot of problems that aren't solved by asdf, apt or rpm, which is why it continues to be relevant and used also for workstations.
