The truth is Docker ( the company ) could never capitalize the success of their software. They clearly need the money and I have the impression things have not been "great" in the last couple of years. ( regardless of reasons )
The truth is also the fact that most people/organizations never paid a dime for the software or the service, and I'm talking about Billion dollar organizations that paid ridiculous amounts of money for both "DevOps Managers" and consultants but the actual source of the images they pull are either from "some dude" or some opensource orgs.
I get that there will be many "innocent victims" of the circumstances but most people who are crying now are the same ones who previously only took, never gave and are panicking because as Warren Buffett says: "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."
And there are a lot of engineering managers and organizations who like to brag with expressions like "Software supply chains" and we'll find out who has been swimming with their willy out.
I think it's also a product of the larger economic environment. The old model of grow now and profit later seems to be hitting a wall, leaving companies scrambling to find profit streams in their existing customer base not realizing that doing so will hinder their growth projection leading to more scrambling for profit.
It's a vicious cycle, but when you don't grow in a sustainable way it seems unavoidable.
