Yeah, I mean what do you expect or is the alternative? If you have a process that needs access to something only root typically can do, and the solution been to give that process root so it can do it's job, you usually need root to be able to give that process permission to do that thing without becoming root. Doesn't that make sense? What alternative are you suggesting?
Uhm no. Podman is a different product that is pretty much a drop-in replacement for Docker but lets you run as non-root.
You have to be root to set it up, but after that you don't need any special privileges. With Docker the only option is to basically give everyone root access.
It's true that it requires root for some setup though. Unclear if op was complaining about that.
It's hilarious. Your 'solution' to use docker without root is to make some system changes as root and then use/build docker LOL.

Docker can run rootless the same way podman does.
