Still most images are based on distros because it's so convenient. Apart from software written in Go that is usually shipped as images based on "scratch". I think there should be simpler building blocks for assembling images thatn complete distro images. For instance when you create an Nginx image it could just contain the Nginx binaries and the libraries they are linked with.
