It's not just a few megabytes, it's more like hundreds. If you're moving an image across a bad network (like the internet) that could be hundreds of milliseconds.

I would also add that data transfers cost money, and having to transfer a few hundred MBs each time a container image is passed around can reflect in the expenses.
