If you're using Nix, that is what you are ultimately producing, it's buried under significant amounts of boilerplate and sensible defaults. Ultimately the output of Nix (called a derivation) reads a lot like a pile of references, build instructions, and checksums.

I think their point was that number of people who use nix is a rounding error, perhaps due to poor user experience.
