Hi Taylan,

Personally I'm a GNU-lover and a Scheme-lover so it's obvious why I
would choose Guix over Nix.

:-)

TL;DR: sell Guix (over Nix) to someone who doesn't care about GNU or
Scheme?

Have you seen Daniel Schaefer's Peering into the Land of Parentheses?

I had not, but now I have, thanks!

This seems to confirm my thought that Guix is actually at a better place with things like guix deploy, guix pack, etc. compared to Nix, where things are more scattered. I suppose it's thanks to the clean-slate development of Guix... or the developers are just geniuses. ;-)
