I think containers have a lot to do with this in a big way. When you are making a container for every app, the OS base size really starts adding up. As a one time fee the disk space for an OS image is not a big deal, but when you have to pay that disk space for every app, then that really adds up.

If you structure your images well you don't pay the base image cost for every app, the layer is cached and stored once on disk.
