In which world replacing removing Wayland in favour of X is considered KISS? We seem to have very different understanding of KISS with those folks.

Is it, though? (That's a bit of a meme, sorry.) No, seriously. Why would I choose this over Alpine? Or, given the failure modes of Alpine as a container image, why would I even choose Alpine? Everything in this space is absolute shite.
On closer inspection, it doesn't look like it's a viable alternative. My biggest gripe with Alpine is that it uses musl instead of glibc. Most python C based dependencies require glibc to build. Looks like Kiss uses musl too. Alpine's been fine though for other uses, Go and Node apps for instance.
I had a lot of issues in the past with alpine due to lack of "community" and docs around some problems, as well as musl causing issues with all sorts of nodejs build tools (bower, yarn).
Isn't there a distro that's already based on the KISS principle? (Arch Linux) Is there something that the Kiss distro achieves that Arch doesn't?

Keep making the biggest problem of Linux bigger, please... Yeah, this problem is "fragmentation", and it is not solved with "simplicity".
How is fragmentation a "big problem"? There are like what, four distros? - Debian and *buntu - Red Hat - Fedora - Suse All of them use systemd. All use X11 or wayland. All package gnome. All DEs, WMs etc. are available on all these distros. Smaller distros can reuse whatever is available for that distros, see for example chrome or skype.
But regardless, I agree, fragmentation isn't really a problem. It would be very rare indeed for some software to only work on some distro but not another. And if this was the case, you could probably change it with enough work (swap out libc or whatever).

This distro is much simpler than Arch. It reminds me more of something like Static Linux: https://sta.li/

A woman who is not fully clothed, because We Are Tech Bros.
This looks to be inspired by pinup poster girls so she's most likely wearing a dress like in [1] but with her right arm on her stomach. [1] https://thewondrous.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Pinup-Art...
Note also how there is black below it as it wraps around to the back. If all that black space were her right arm, it would have a bump in the middle, and she would hold it in a very awkward position with the hand wrapping around to her back below her left arm. Seems less likely to me.

Regardless of that logo, those north-American organizations would not be running a minimalist Linux distro written by a single guy in the first place, but some sort of Lovecraftian Kubernetes setup involving redundancy everywhere, especially in the software stack.
It never occurred to me before, but the word "Lovecraftian" is indeed perfect for describing the modern approach to infrastructure. Well put.
