Is that the case, though? My understanding was, that even if I run a docker container as root and the container is 100% compromised, there still would need to be a vulnerability in docker for it to “attack” the host, or am I missing something?

non necessary vulnerability per. se. Bridged adapter for example lets you do a lot - few years ago there were a story of something like how a guy got a root in container and because the container used bridged adapter he was able to intercept traffic of an account info updates on GCP
