It will need to happen sooner or later once distros realize that security is important.

I was not talking in relative terms. NixOS made steps in the right direction, but there is still much more that can be done.

If you can think of a concrete and detailed, workable proposal, maybe you could write up a NixOS RFC and send a PR for discussion (or post something on the discourse community website?).

Who knows, maybe something can be fleshed out and improvements come out of it...

Thanks for the suggestion, ut I don't currently have time to design this. If I did I personally think there are other usability issues that I would prioritized fixing instead of trying to push the technology forward.
