AFAIK, it's just implementing an obsolete concept. The session bus is
started by systemd --user, which is triggered by the pam stack when the user session is created. So it is generally fair to assume that the session bus
always present. I don't know why gdm still uses the helper.

I think container images typically do not run systemd at all, right? That's where dbus-run-session is generally used, e.g. for CI images. I'm not sure how else you would expect CI would ever work. At least, many GNOME tests are going to fail if a D-Bus session is not available.

Yes, dbus-daemon can be installed manually in CI images. But if you want dbus-broker to *really* replace dbus-daemon, such that the dbus-daemon package can be retired, it would need to learn to cover this case.
