That helps, but be warned that there are still programs running around that just hardcode their paths

Cries in nixpkgs
(Anyone who tried to package a program that hardcodes the “usual” binary paths know the pain)
Doesn't nix itself hardcode the nix store path though?
Afaik there is an option to change it, but it is not advisable as that will break the binary cache and you are left with compiling everything yourself. This is due to a technical limitation in that different packages can contain paths everywhere and thus they are inherently part of the resulting hash, on which other packages can depend.
