-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, from what I've seen, it is required.
I would expect that this is because the docker daemon generally requires root
level privileges for most of its core functionality.
For more information (~5 years old, but still applies):
[https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/156938/why-does-docker-need-root-privileges]
Using docker without sudo/ root level access is currently experimental.
[https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/]
A limitation that is undeniable is that root level privileges are being given,
which means that if that are any vulnerabilities with the docker system, there
is the possibility of providing root access to unwanted entities, which has
potential to incredibly harm on the system that is using docker.
