Depends on what you're doing. If you're a frontend dev, you may be less likely to need Docker to set up a dev environment. If you're writing a GUI app, even less likely that you'd need Docker. But, perhaps when that frontend dev hits git push, then that kicks off a CI/CD pipeline that at some point uses Docker. Is the frontend dev using Docker? Not really, but Docker is being used.
Git, however, can be used and is useful to almost anyone that writes code and wants to store it in some repository. This can include frontend code, or anything else.
I do think containers are becoming more and more important in how we build and deploy software, but Docker isn't the only runtime, and there may be some devs that just wouldn't benefit from Docker, but would benefit from Git or some version control.
I would think containers for development use are even more vital for the front end dev. I loved being able to spin up a tiny cluster of services locally to run my front end against.

I dockerized my front-end apps cause it gives hot reloading functionality -v + the other benefits joe describes
