Nix has the most unique packages and the most up to date packages of any Linux software repository. It has substantially more fresh packages than Arch or Alpine (which you say does a better job in a separate comment).
I can give you a list of software that is not being kept up to date on Nix Stable that is pretty popular. At first glance it does look impressive but does not translate into my real world experience.
Well there is this thing called DevOps where you scan repos and have packages get built and pushed automatically… not sure if you’ve ever heard of it. I think it is called CI/CD. /s

Do it yourself. Contributing to nixpkgs is easy, especially for updating packages.
