lots of questions here regarding what this product is. I guess i can provide some information for the context, from a perspective of an outside contributor.
Chainguard Images is a set of hardened container images.
They were built by the original team that brought you Google's Distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless)
However, there were few problems with Distroless:
1. distroless were based on Debian - which in turn, limited to Debian's release cadence for fixing CVE.
2. distroless is using bazelbuild, which is not exactly easy to contrib, customize, etc...
3. distroless images are hard to extend.
Chainguard built a new "undistro" OS for container workload, named Wolfi, using their OSS projects like melange (for packaging pkgs) and apko (for building images).
The idea is (from my understanding) is that
1. You don't have to rely on upstream to cut a release. Chainguard will be doing that, with lots of automation & guardrails in placed. This allow them to fix vulnerabilties extremely fast.
The same reason Bazel builds avoid using Cargo when building Rust software, so I'll describe why Bazel would do this:
- Bazel wants to cache remote resources, like each respective crate's source files.
- Bazel then wants to build each crate in a sandbox, and cache the build artifacts
This is an established practice, and Nix wants to drive the build for the same reasons.
See:

I honestly don't know why anyone would use that... as in what does Bazel do better than virtually anything else that can provide this functionality. But, I used to be an ops engineer in a big company which wanted everything to be Maven, regardless of whether it does it well or not. So we built and deployed with Maven a lot of weird and unrelated stuff.
Not impossible, but not anything I'd advise anyone to do on their free time.
Specifically wrt' the link you posted, if you look here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/blob/main/python/... it says that only pure Python wheels are supported, but that's also a lie, they don't support half of the functionality of pure Python wheels.
So, definitely not worth using, since lots of functionality is simply not there.
Honestly Bazel and Java is actually a really nice experience. Pull in third party stuff from https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external. There is built in support for uber jar builds by adding a _deploy.jar suffix to binary jars. Protobuf and other codegen is super easy!
For Bazel you can find a good example of this functionality in rules_js with the integration of pnpm workspaces and the npm_package rule (macro) which recently gained a .publish runnable target that will publish the package.
