Because why not? For things like installing (commonly used) packages, setup some services, I think Nix is simpler than things like Debian or Arch. You don't need to understand all the nitty-gritty to install a package. The problem is about the documentation, some information is old (nix-env for example which should be deprecated IMO), may need better discoverability (options that you don't know they even exists), and we should be able to just give some examples for users to modify instead of asking them to learn the whole language.
For advancing the goals of the project, I think increasing adaptation will be beneficial, for example to let more software provide a nix script for building, due to more users using it. And perhaps if more users are using it, more companies and universities will adapt it.
