It is one thing to do things the risky way on your own system and another thing to ship an unsafe and unconventional default to your users.

For a single user, opinionated, modern, developer focussed OS, this is completely and utterly on par. Using docker as a developer without this is just plain annoying.

Just use podman, as the article suggests.

Too much stuff doesn't work with Podman still.

Especially if you're on an SELinux system.
