Being a free software GNU distribution is also the point of Guix, and it's part of what attracted me to it (although its practical abilities are nice as well).

Except this isn't a privacy community, this is a FOSS community, and OP mentioned they wanted an app on F-Droid, not anything about privacy.
I believe the idea that "FOSS is only about privacy and nothing else, therefore proprietary apps with no network access are the same as FOSS apps" is absurd and harmful to the free software community, so I downvoted you based on that. Privacy is important but free software is much more than just privacy.
Why advertise proprietary apps in a FOSS community? Especially when there are FOSS options available
I imagine a world beyond proprietary software, and GNU/Linux is the most promising implementation of that.
I don't agree with reducing software-freedom to an issue of mere privacy-friendliness. I'm willing to be realistic about the security shortcomings of Libre software but not if the alternative is locked down silos and walled gardens.
