Because Docker lets you put arbitrary things into an image. Smalltalk images let you put arbitrary Smalltalk into an image. It's apples and oranges: I can't mix-and-match technologies in Smalltalk images. (I'd also argue that it isn't so much that Smalltalk images are considered "bad", rather that Smalltalk images don't suit the needs of a lot of people. Or problem spaces.)
