Producing different outputs isn't dockerfile's fault. Dockerfile doesn't enforce reproducibility but reproducibility can be achieved with it.

Nix isn't some magical thing that makes things reproducible either. nix is simply pinning build inputs and relying on caches. nixpkgs is entirely git based so you end up pinning the entire package tree.
