That's bad practice because it hides build steps from `docker inspect`. Per https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#clarity:

> Try to make the Dockerfile easy to understand/read. It may be tempting, for the sake of brevity, to put complicated initialization details into a standalone script and merely add a RUN command in the Dockerfile. However, this causes the resulting Dockerfile to be overly opaque, and such Dockerfiles are unlikely to pass review. Instead, it is recommended to put all the commands for initialization into the Dockerfile as appropriate RUN or ENV command combinations. To find good examples, look at the current official images.

That's advice specifically for official images, and it dates back before multi-stage builds. Most people are not building official images. Most people benefit from clear encapsulation and separation of concerns. The Dockerfile sets up the environment to run the provisioning script, and a provisioning script does the actual provisioning. Official images are different because usually the provisioning script is hidden in an OS package installed with e.g. apk add (or are we going to pretend that OS packages are bad practice for the same reason?).

Don't multi-stage builds already break `docker inspect`?
