I've been a fan of Orbstack for make 2 years or so. Worth the cost for me because it's so well integrated and fast and docker command compatible.
I'll give this a try though.

I’m guessing the OrbStack team will probably support MacOS native containers soon enough, with all their management goodness on top.
It appears macOS native containers runs a separate Linux VM per container.
OrbStack's claim to fame is that all containers run in a single Linux VM, with lots of optimizations on both sides of the VM boundary (including use of a sparse image file for disk storage, which saves a lot of space on the macOS side).
If you run more than 4-5 containers on macOS, the performance and resource usage savings of OrbStack really starts to add up quickly.
