Isn't the argument that HA has this functionality, thus if it cannot download its plugins/manifests at runtime, then it can be considered not fully functional? (Even though Nix users likely consciously trade off that for reproducibility.)

Even if home-assistant would download the files at runtime it can't put them at the right location and it would only work for python only packages.
