I think Guix approach is good, community helps with open-source packages, some third-party manages the non-free channels. And they are as easy to use

There are flatpacks, snaps, appimages, PPAs, channels... why would you except a linux distro maintainer to work for free for a billion dollar company? Testing and maintain their software

Interesting, I didn't realize this is the case. Unfortunately there won't be MacOS support, which makes this unusable for me.
I think my point about broader applicability still stands though. Compare the guix [0] and nix [1] homepages. The former mainly sells and operating system (and somewhat mentions a package manager), while the Nix homepage sells a tool with examples: Trying new tools, declarative developer environments, docker images, cloud images. For a lot of people these are immediate practical use cases, which I think is the reason behind the adoption and hype.
