I guess an obvious difference is that these two groups are much bigger
than Guix.  :-)

I like the idea of creating strong ties among people around the project,
and I think avoiding fragmentation is one way to achieve it.  But I
agree it’s also a question of scale, and perhaps eventually we’ll do
just like Arch, Ubuntu, and others (and by “we”, I really mean “someone”
because these things aren’t centralized at all).  We’ll see!
