Imagine copying 8gb image to 96000 ranks over network
It's called caching layers bruv, container images do it. Plus you can stagger registries in a tiered cache per rack/cage/etc. OTOH, constantly re-copying the same executable over and over every time you execute or access it over a network filesystem wastes bandwidth and time, and a network filesystem cache is both inefficient and runs into cache invalidation issues.
