Thinking about a typical example where platform matters -- let's say a 
developer wants to speed-up a ruby application, so he implements a part 
of it as a binary extension (written in C and using a library from the 
base OS).

The developer builds the app locally, so the rubygem links to the 
particular system library (libfoo.so.2). Once our images would move from 
rhel7 to rhel8, his application wouldn't work any more, because we have 
libfoo.so.3 in rhel8.
