Speaking for myself, one thing that I like about Guix and GuixSD are that they make it relatively easy to learn and alter the system, at least compared to some other GNU / Linux operating systems. By encouraging users to learn how to alter their system, they will unwittingly become computer programmers, which I think is beneficial for software freedom. I'd prefer that to a world where only 1% of people have the ability to effect change in software (the current situation). I understand the situation is not a dichotomy; our system should not be unnecessarily difficult to use.
