I also looked at this topic, see [1]. Some points are similar to the article posted by OP. My findings were:

- Docker Desktop and Docker engine (CE) behave differently, e.g. bind mounts, or file system ownerships.

- CPU/Platform differences (ARM vs. AMD64): many devs don't realize they use ARM on their mac, thus ARM images are used by default, and tools you run in it (or want to install) may be have differently, or may be missing entirely

- Incompatible Linux kernel APIs (when containerized binaries make syscalls not supported by the the host's kernel, for whatever reason)

- Using the same version tags, expecting the same result (--> insanity, as you know it :D)

- Different engines (e.g. Docker Desktop vs. colima) change the execution behavior (RUNNING containers)

- Different build engines (e.g. kaniko vs. BuildKit vs. buildah) change the BUILD behavior

For anyone who is interested: more details in [1].
