Layers may or may not benefit any particular org. If you build a lot of your own containers from the same base layer image (microserver1-container-a .. microserver2-container-N), then you could save a lot of bandwidth/storage pulling the base layer once. Naturally, if you build everything from alpine:latest, then a large majority of your containers are going to have difference base layers and you're going to lose those savings.
