Docker [Desktop] is not exposing IP addresses from the guest VM to the host OS (i.e. macOS 14.5 Sonoma)
Description
When I setup and configure MetalLB to generate a load-balancer for services, it looks like Docker [Desktop] is not exposing IP addresses from the guest VM to the host OS (i.e. macOS 14.5 Sonoma).
Reproduce
I have created a repository for the steps that I have performed and it can be found at the following location:
https://github.com/conradwt/metallb-test
Expected behavior
curl 194.1.2.100

After swapping Docker Desktop for Mac with OrbStack, I'm not having the issue that I reported above. Also, I didn't have to use any port forwards during my tests with OrbStack. Furthermore, Docker Desktop for Linux and MetalLB just works on Ubuntu.
Thus, the Docker Desktop for Mac should have functional parity with Docker Desktop for Linux. If MetalLB works on Docker Desktop for Linux, it should also work on Docker Desktop for Mac.
