They are not servers. But operating system binaries, stored at a certain time from an installed and configured version of the OS. They can be used to create a server or a desktop when run on hardware.
In docker world we usually use images to build servers mostly, but some use them to make desktops too, like for a company that wants to provide virtual desktops with higher security and pre-installed software on the cloud. Some banks and medical orgs do this.
From Google:
In computing, a system image is a serialized copy of the entire state of a computer system stored in some non-volatile form such as a file. A system is said to be capable of using system images if it can be shut down and later restored to exactly the same state.
