I love NixOS, use it on all my workstations (and Nix on my Mac) and could never go back to a normal Linux. But I agree, they need to drop or reword that as an official goal. I suspect what they're thinking is that they want it to become so good and more broadly accessible to a wider range of developers that it gets natural usage and traction and becomes ubiquitous organically. But they make it sound more like they're missionaries proselytizing a religion, ostensibly for the audience's benefit, but really more for the religion's benefit. Or salesmen selling something by telling you how good it is for you, when it's really better for the salesman. People pick up on that and reject it. Of course, they should keep trying to make Nix ubiquitous by making it really good and broadly accessible and by engaging with the dev community for ideas on how to do that, as they outline in this post. Just don't make ubiquity an official goal. Let that happen organically.
