I feel the same way about docker. This things just running containers and yet its a billion dollar company.

multi-OS desktop application with

cross-platform container virtualization

integrated single-node kubernetes orchestration

plus various services such as

global container image hosting

automated supply chain security

distributed cloud build system

production container runtime

collaborative development sandboxes

vs

a curl competitor

Yes, they're in the same league.

All that stuff you said above would have been in a fos tool if docker were made 15 years ago. So many tools have just as wide a scope and don't ask for a dime and give their stuff up under mit license. And I’m sure none of those maintainers of essential foss are hurting for work or opportunities with a resume that says you maintain a tool that a good fraction of the computers in the world use.
