Alpine Linux Docker images have NULL for root password

I don't quite get it. If you've somehow statically compiled all your dependencies, shouldn't that just run without a container?

Perhaps the point is not to enable program execution, but to make use of the benefits that may come with container orchestration.

Well at the very least running in a container gives you filesystem and network and PID space isolation, optionally also user namespace isolation.
