Good question! Security should be a priority instead.
A lot of containers on docker hub have serious vulnerabilities, as proven by various research papers. Removing bloat is good for security.
However, using a well-tested distro and receiving security updates from its security team is more important than having a tiny footprint.
This is a good reason to use Debian stable in containers and avoid alpine.
