We can never fully remove the root-privileged option on less-capable
init systems, or when someone decides to put Guix in complicated chroot,
WSL, Docker environments or perhaps semi-virtualized other operating
systems?

Let’s see, maybe there’s no longer a need to migrate then.  But I would
expect the Setting up the Daemon instructions will remain.
