It seems impossible to access USB devices in Docker on MacOS

According to https://dev.to/rubberduck/using-usb-with-docker-for-mac-3fdd, it seems impossible to forward USB to a Docker container on MacOS, coz the Docker is running in a virtual environment via hyperkit.
First of all, ports of the host (i.e., MacOS) cannot be directly accessed by any virtual environment (i.e., Docker) on it. So, "you first have to expose it to the virtual machine where Docker is running". However, Docker is running on hyperkit, which doesn't support usb forwarding.
The author provided another way to do it, that is to usedocker-machine, which uses a Virtualbox VM to host the dockerd daemon, to replace the original docker. Then... why bother still using Docker, instead of just using Virtualbox to run the seperated environment?
