1. Someone was forced to maintain Nix and want to switch to easier to maintain tooling
2. That someone can lack in technical understanding of the problems they are facing
The former doesn't negate the later.
The way I would put it is sometimes you choose a worse option because the people you have available are better at that option. That doesn't mean you made a mistake but it does mean your lack of expertise sent you down a different path.
And of course to finalize I will re-emphasize my "didn't make a mistake" comment. Ivory tower isn't a good idea either.
But someone responding "it is too bad the company that built packages couldn't properly use the package tooling they depended on" can still be true in a situation where a company made the correct decision of dropping that package tooling.
