It's still running in a tiny Linux VM. One VM per container if what I've read is right...
It's running on Apple Silicon because it's only available on Apple Silicon. Docker/orbstack/lima/etc are also running on Apple Silicon when your Mac is an Apple Silicon Mac, so I didn't quite get the meaning of that last one...
If you were trying to say it's running natively without a Linux VM though, it's wrong insofar as it's not running on a single shared VM as the other solutions do but it's still using Linux VMs.
