This seems like 2 different features got mixed in together. The terminal at the footer is different than the terminal in the container detail view in the Exec or Debug tab (or via the action menu).

LGTM
Subjectively, I still think the features are mixed together, while having big differences that aren't clear.
They're both integrated terminals, but they have different entry points and different use-cases. The one at the footer opens in the host. The one in debug/exec/action menu opens in a container.
For example:
Using the integrated terminal is the same as running one of the following commands:
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/sh
docker exec -it <container-id> cmd.exe when accessing Windows containers
docker debug <container-id> when using debug mode
The integrated terminal:
Persists your session if you navigate to another part of the Docker Desktop Dashboard and then return.
Supports copy, paste, search, and clearing your session.
Automatically detects the default user for a running container from the image's Dockerfile. If no user is specified, or you're using debug mode, it defaults to root.
None of that, except the persist and copy parts, applies to the terminal at the footer. Users can run docker exec in the footer terminal, but it's not the default entry point.

I see where I was going wrong @craig-osterhout. LMK if this is better |
