I believe several people were confused by your statement. So, at least I'm not alone.
I interpreted your statement of "Using pre-compiled binaries means that builds aren't reproducible, a goal of both Nix and Guix" to mean, "Guix does not distribute pre-compiled binaries, because they can't be reproduced". That still seems an entirely reasonable interpretation of that sentence, to me, as someone with no familiarity with Guix.
But, I now see that your intended meaning was that Guix does not distribute stuff like nvidia blobs, or Flash player, which is a perfectly reasonable choice for them, and nothing less than I would expect of a GNU project (and Fedora, my current favorite desktop distro, has the same policy, so I don't have a problem with it).
