The issue has more to do with Nix poor onboarding, dreadful documentation and difficulty articulating its value proposition.

I personally think that the idea of Nix is fine but the execution is not there.

Look even Bazel which is built on fairly similar concepts but only targets built where it makes more sense and has a far better configuration language still struggle with adoption. It’s clear that Nix which wants to make immutable something people actually mostly never tinker will have to fight an uphill battle.
