I speculate that the buildx component was formerly part of the upstream
project that is consumed by Debian's docker.io package (in the bookworm
era) and was later split out into a separate upstream project, that is
not (yet) packaged in Debian.

A quick search didn't turn up any Debian bugs for 'buildx' in the Debian
BTS for package: docker.io. If the functionality is broken > bookworm,
it would be worth filing a bug.

Docker-dot-com have their own distinct Docker packages, and their own
APT repository. The package 'docker-buildx-plugin' might exist in that.

You could try switching from Debian's package of Docker to
Docker-dot-com's:

  https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/

I can't vouch for it and I'd suggest considering the advice at 
<https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian> before adding another
APT repository to your system.

You could also take a look at Podman (a largely drop-in alternative
for Docker, also packaged) and see if it has the features you need.
