I provided an example of how I use emacs and the _non-default behavior_
of non-default profiles that I find particularly powerful in Guix. Of
course it's not the only way to go, but I thought it might be of
interest for your article.

It wasn't clear until the sentence above that you are limiting the
article to _default behaviour_. IMO, this is selling non-default
profiles short.  E.G. kinda like writing a blog about 'guix environment'
without mentioning '--pure'.

HTH, George
