The problem shouldn't be macOS or Docker Desktop - your MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD needs to be more safe as stated in the docs:

Your password should follow the SQL Server default password policy, otherwise the container can't set up SQL Server, and stops working. By default, the password must be at least eight characters long and contain characters from three of the following four sets: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, base-10 digits, and symbols.

That's why they always use <YourStrong@Passw0rd> in examples.
