Re:Alpine Linux Docker images have NULL for root password by hobofan on Wednesday May 08, 2019 @06:17PM (#19863513)
Not sure how widespread that view is, but that's never the association I would have made.

"Xless" is just a different way of saying "without X". "fearless" = "without fear"; "serverless" = "without a server" (yes, I know, not really); so "distroless" = "(comes) without a distribution"

So in my opinon the name correctly suggests that it's "just the package" and comes "without a distro", and not "was built without the help of a distribution".
