It's important for sysvinit and users of sysvinit more than it's important to Docker in particular (Docker just happens to be software that uses/supports cgroupsv1 and needs *something* mounting cgroups in sysvinit, and cgroupsv2 + sysvinit is much more complicated, if it's possible to use at all). *Technically* users could "properly" mount a cgroupsv1 hierarchy themselves via /etc/fstab, but it'd be pretty manual/annoying to do so (because a "unified" single mount has a lot of rough edges, so you have to effectively mimic what cgroupfs-mount does instead if you want things to work properly). All that being said, with platforms like GHA dropping support for Ubuntu 20.04 [1], it's getting much harder to test cgroupsv1 in an automated way on the popular platform where folks typically maintain software like this, so I wouldn't be surprised if Docker drops support for cgroupsv1 in the future (however, the version in Trixie definitely won't, especially this close to freeze).
