As a Mac user who's migrated over to Linux over the past year or so, I've got an idea of where OP is coming from.

Docker on macOS is accessed via a Desktop GUI, so you can easily see what you have installed, how it's running, etc... So when I shifted over to Linux, I was thrown off by there being no such tool. I wasn't used to using a terminal to do everything, and grumbled quite a lot about there being no Docker Desktop GUI, given how many self-hostable services run through Docker.

I've since gotten used to it, but it really is quite jarring.
