MBP with Docker.

Docker on macOS literally halves the battery life (since it's running a VM).

If it halves the battery life that’s a really bad sign of an inefficiency somewhere. Docker isn’t even a VM.

I think docker runs in a vm on platforms other than Linux.

Docker isn't even a VM on Linux Kernel :)

On macOS/Windows it will run a small VM with Linux Kernel first.
