It is a quirk of how containers (Docker) work on Linux. You can think of the container as being a second system running. From outside the container, processes can be seen, but the metadata like account names is not visible. In your case the inside user id (UID) matches your outside UID, so tools like `ps`, `top`, etc guess that it is yours.
