Docker Desktop for Windows and Docker Desktop for macOS, it was discovered that running the
Docker environment on these requires a lightweight virtual machine that emulates the Linux system.
"it was discovered" as if the VM behind the docker engine running on those operating systems was hidden to the human race.

Please don't create dynamite plots. Use a box plot, or plot the dots of the different repetitions with some jitter to avoid overlap.

As reported in other comments apparently OSX cheats when saying it's writing to disk. If the authors wanted to compare docker executions it would be useful for the discussion to see if the difference in performance was due to the docker overhead or to the operating system, by showing what's the write performance of a non-containerized program across operating systems.
In my opinion the article should not have been published as is. It should have been rejected or asked for major revisions. MPDI Applied Sciences is quite a bad journal already for "Computer Science Applications" https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100829268&ti... so it's not surprising to see this published.
