Why a new package manager? Why not port an existing well-designed generic package manager such as Nix?

Making a new package manager is very expensive in terms of developer times - developers have to learn yet another new thing to use your platform. Can you justify this?

Edit: For example, as matthewbauer commented below, Nix can support WebAssembly as a compilation target: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/56555
