It would be great to have an option to flatten layers in a container scan. In many common use cases, the lower layers do not matter too much and having a squashed, flat view on a single resulting file system with only "one" layer would be good enough.

The contain-inspector can do this with https://github.com/aboutcode-org/container-inspector/blob/5c654da7c5161060ce57975347526a0e1963313d/src/container_inspector/image.py#L414

The layer-level command data can be very important for analyzing files with unknown origin and license so this needs to be an option not the default. Perhaps there should be an add-on pipeline to flatten container scan results.
