I think they have a valid complaint about that open source program Docker is running and lack of response, but the overall tone seems like they are scolding Docker for not giving away it's services for free.

I have always felt that was strange how quickly people started taking Docker for granted, while simultaneously relying on them completely but also somehow dismissing their core utility as a trivial and unsophisticated layer or something.

It's like they never really got credit from most people on HN or are worthy of getting paid, even though most everyone uses their technology.

Nah, this is a bad take. There’s no excuse for them to be unresponsive to active users. Even from a purely profit-focused point of view, if Docker doesn’t want to give away free stuff, they should be encouraging/begging/cajoling users like this to convert to a paid plan. But they’re just ignoring them instead?
