The point about shipping old versions is rather moot in this case however, because the NixOS package was using the version required by the latest version of Home Assistant.

If anything, the Nix packaging of Home Assistant should (tm) be running on a known good working set of deps.
The nixpkgs/NixOS packaging of NixOS uses packages which work with the tests of home-assistant. We cannot respect every version pin and if package have none breaking updates we happily update them. This is especially important to get security fixes in.
