True, but the overhead is not that bad due to HW virtualization support.
Macos can use the xhyve hypervisor (bhyve port) which again points to “unixy” roots — it runs freebsd for example.
Through the years I spent quite some time hacking about to get bsd running on other hypervisors, and for the longest of time it was just a hassle with abysmal performance (vmware esx, xen/xenserver).
Docker on osx is by the way completely seamless from a UX perspective.
As a mobile/laptop dev experience I still think the new air is great. ;)
