That does not seem to actually be "in a docker container"?
It is just using docker to run the VM software (qemu with kvm) and runs macOS in that VM.
It is conveniently packaged up, but the title is very, very misleading.

But, why?

  A dockerized Mac OS lets you perform automated testing without paying for the hardware, which is what you usually have to do.

    Which in the countries where EULA's have a legal value, it is considered a crime, as Mac OS can only be virtualised in Apple hardware.

      Creating a separate comment for this idea, but would virtualizing other versions of MacOS/iOS on say a Mac Mini so you can do multiple versions (And maybe iOS, by extension) and such in parallel would ostensibly be legal As long as you're running Asahi Linux as your Host OS

      Honest question, what happens if you set up a VPS in a country where EULA's don't? You get all the benefits and none of the repercusion, yes?

        That is up for a judge, and legal agreements between countries, to decide upon.

      Something being illegal doesn't always mean it's a crime.

        That is exactly the definition, which you can happily discuss during a court hearing session.

        Whatever the respective jurisdiction judge decides breaking an EULA with illegal deployment should be.
