Why don't many people use Docker for NextJS apps?

imo using docker for dev doesn't make sense as it adds extra overhead and might be slow on top of existing slowness next comes with but I surely use docker to deploy
setting up docker for development mode's hot module reload is a pain

and grossly unnecessary for dev mode as it's expected you as the developer will have nodejs installed, and if nodejs is installed nextjs will run just fine without any docker shenanigans
