The main point mentioned here is that base image files cannot be trusted. But that is an issue that applies to running any static 'container' or even bare hardware running any sort of image. And both have to be updated or rebooted for any patches that require it. It is just having the flexible and non blocking processes in place. But I do agree such insecure images and running them on production is rife, especially some image sizes in docker end up being massive.
