I’ve used jib and bazel and that’s exactly what they do, both are language agnostic and push files around. Jib has a java bent but not a required part of it.

I can totally see people using Depot bc it’s way easier and more obvious, works in the obvious way, and that is how things work today. It doesn’t challenge you to think, why the hell do I need a super privileged process with magic Dockerfile incantations just to take a tar of files and add another file to it? With some metadata? Docker has created some weird defaults.
