Forgive my naïveté regarding Podman. On macOS, does this use the same virtualization approach that docker desktop uses?
Yes. Perhaps OrbStack[1] is what you're looking for. [1] https://orbstack.dev/
How does it work? Why is it fast?
OrbStack uses a lightweight Linux virtual machine with tightly-integrated, purpose-built services and networking written in a mix of Swift, Go, Rust, and C. See Architecture for more details.

Same basic approach in that it is a Linux VM that actually runs the containers, but it is based on qemu instead of VirtualBox.
I'm very happy to see you better support for docker compose. I think about 50% of the time I find Kubernetes used in production/development when it could have just used Compose along with a simple Terraform or Pulumi deploy script.

Is Docker still using a VirtualBox based solution? I thought they were using the macOS virt framework.

I guess they stopped doing this and now consider the product mature from looking at their website, but Docker Compose used to tell you that it wasn't suitable or intended for production use. That seemed like a pretty good reason not to do it.
Very much unlike Kubernetes, where even a small deployment can sometimes be maddening to debug. Great for larger deployments where complexity is basically guaranteed, but anything that could run on one server with a hot spare is a great fit for Compose!

I found there is not much diffence in performance between both on my intel macbook.
I think it will not take long until rancher also updates to latest lima to support apple virtualization. but I haven't checked the latest release notes.

Docker compose falls apart when you need something clustered across nodes or any other multi-host deployment. Once you have to rip it apart it becomes way less appealing. Though I haven't tried it in a while and perhaps the ergonomics have changed.
What's missing to fully replace Docker Desktop?
Disclaimer, I started Rancher Desktop.
