Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies: New 'Business' subscription is here

Curious target audience

Is this license change targeted at image creators? I use Docker to create an image once, then deploy that image widely. The deployments will still be free. The private image repository will still be free. Home users and hobbyists won't pay. Small startups won't pay. Is this really only for companies that use Docker Desktop to build Docker images as part of their product?

I admit ignorance; although I use Docker every day, I've never used Docker Desktop. I just run a base image, faff around until I know what I want, create a Dockerfile, then "docker build" and off to the races.
