I mean, bait aside, creating a new distro with an existing package manager allows you to set up a different set of default packages and even add your own new/updated ones. That's the value of it there.

Take it a step further and declaratively configure your entire installation with nixos

Literally tons of distros could be some
lib.mkDefaultnixos configs. And they would get a package manager improvement.

But that doesn't deserve to count as a separate distro. At best it's just a variant, like the relationship between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.

Ship of Theseus.
How much do you need to change to make a new distro? Is Linux Mint still Ubuntu? Or is Ubuntu still Debian?
