I replaced my vagrant usage with lima-vm due to the license change years ago and I'm happy with it https://lima-vm.io/

Lima is a great tool for simple quick or for automated repeatable virtual environments!

Lima give you a VM.

Vagrantfile gives you a repeatable and portable environment with just a few lines of configuration. Product demo? Pre-configured local Kubernetes? Clean build environment? Pre-cooked clean setups for 3rd party software projects? Everything is possible with just vagrant up -> vagrant ssh -> vagrant halt/destroy. There is no simple alternative.

How exactly did the license change affected your particular use-case?

I think this is just the cloud-hosted registry - the good old cli remains available, albeit under the non-free Business Source License: https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant

It's like Docker without public registries, nobody is going to use it

"Docker for VMs" it's what we used before docker.

Docker is not a replacement though, you can't use Docker as a VM, not without workarounds, limitations and caveats.
