All of the configuration options you’re specifying there are for the nextcloud NixOS module, it’s not a magical part of Nix itself. Same with the self
and other arguments at the top. Outside of NixOS (and home-manager, for user-level installations), all Nix is going to be able to do for you is build software, it cannot
do runtime configuration or other alterations to your system like that.
Why would anyone stop using those standards? You seem very confused about the incentives for adopting standards. Sure, maybe US-driven standards were chosen over other possibilities partly because of political environment, but once you have a perfectly good standard adopted you’re not just going to throw it out because the original author isn’t cool anymore. You don’t need a dominant power to adopt standards.
And for being “slightly political” and “focused on the standards,” your post sure does spend the majority of its time talking about only politics and not about standards at all
