If you don’t have the requisite bare metal to run Guix by itself

That’s a bit disingenuous wording as modern hardware that can run without proprietary firmware is an absolute rarity at this point.

The vast majority of people on earth do not have access to such hardware.

The linux-libre kernel is only an issue for Guix System (the analogue to NixOS for Nix)

Point taken. I was talking about the OS aspect of both though, given that @Ramin_HAL9001 compared it to Debian and Fedora.

The project should have really kept the GuixSD name. Much clearer separation and also sounds a lot better.

package managers who attempt to sweep nonfree software under the rug and try to make the issue invisible.

Which ones?

In Nix, you get a giant red error when you try to eval unfree software and need to explicitly opt-in.
