The rationale behind my previous statement is that once the docker images
are pushed to a registry, the users do not have to continuously build them,
but rather can extend from the product Docker images and do development and
testing.

However, I do agree that this change is indeed useful for scenarios where
you need to build images in network isolated environments. In such cases
having a base image is essential, otherwise it would not be possible to
build the Docker images. Therefore,  +1 for adding a base image.
