Not anymore, over the past couple of years Kubernetes slowly stripped Docker most of its power to the point that Docker can be totally removed from k8s clusters. And this will be widely be the norm in a couple of years or so

Was that inaccurate? Are most users manually running Kubernetes clusters with an alternative runtime these days?

Depends but most K8S distributions and managed offerings are no longer using Docker as the runtime.

I'm not sure that's true. GKE is still using Docker at least. It will move to containerd in the next few versions I expect.
