I don't know what you think is needed for nix/guix that has not existed the past 20 years.
All the other technologies I mentioned require fairly recent kernels to work, namely for all the namespace shenanigans they employ. Nix can run on perfectly fine on at least Linux 3.2 (stock wheezy), so far as I tested.

I never implied nix needed anything quite the opposite, it was somehow from-scratch thinking, on the other systems were more inspired by new linux features to solve a slightly similar issue.
