I've been wondering about that too.
I guess our system's nixpkgs moves forward while the nixpkgs in our project flake.nix stays the same. So eventually the nixpkgs of the project is garbage collected, because it isn't pinned by the system, and it needs to redownload and rebuild?
I don't know.
I try to `nix flake update` my system configuration every 2-3 months.
Arguably, running Arch and not updating frequently is a pain, too.
