Seems that he wants pypi and pip to be the exclusive distribution mechanisms for his project. He wants to avoid handling bugs that come from his project being packaged through other means.

He misunderstands how nixos works and suggests that Home Assistant will be able to install his package via pip on nixos.

From his conduct in the thread this seems a red herring. The nixos devs have proposed a selection of reasonable solutions to avoid any support burden on his part, all of which he's rejected outright.
