Bind-mount, namespaces and cgroups are runtime properties, completely orthogonal to the problem Nix (the build system/package manager) is meant to solve. NixOS is the configuration layer on top that encodes those properties via systemd units, and that is where you'll find the concept of a "service" and where you can isolate the runtime parts of the system.
