They're already getting decent reproducibility of their curated package set, but some of us want to pin to a particular version of this, especially when creating our own private packages. That's where I'm finding I really want pinning.
The latest release has included "flakes", promoted from an add-on to an opt-in feature and which, among other things, lets me pin my dependencies and the environment I need to build my private projects. I then don't have to worry about going out of sync with the main package set, and I can share private projects in a (hopefully) fully reproducible way, with people using different versions of nix.
