To be fair, the packages have to be patched because many applications assume FHS.

The fact that Nix ditches FHS is so what's appealing about it unfortunately there's a huge body of work that assumes it.

Most of the patches though are making libraries or binaries fully referenced from nix store rather than from the PATH or some other implicit state.
