Sometimes I think people care more about what distribution something is, or is based on, or uses, than really matters. For example: as a distro user, I generally don't care what language something is implemented in. If it's in the distro's repositories; I can use it and it is reasonably well integrated and supported regardless of language.
Similarly, a lot of the time it doesn't really matter what distro something is based on, because I can just consume it in a container or VM and don't need to care.
What does matter are properties such as supportability, the availability and ease of security updates, and so on. So if you ship a container that requires something obscure that I'm not sure security updates will be readily available for, then that matters. But just the fact that it's "not my distro" doesn't really matter.
It's also self defeating to use an obscure distro if you're going to need help and the people you're going to ask for help don't know it.
