Yes, they're dogmatic in the literal meaning of that word.
Other systems may have bugs too, but they don't take extra time to make sure you can't patch those bugs without additional work and going against the system.

Debatable. Guix has adequate grounds to build their beliefs on and they accept other stances besides their own. Guix may think the others are wrong, but that's their privilege, just like you are privileged to think they are wrong. So they seem to be more principled than dogmatic.
A belief being dogmatic isn’t about adequacy of evidence or lack thereof. It’s about that belief being one that must be held to be in fully good standing with the organization for which it is a dogma. I think we can reasonably say the FSF’s teaching on software freedom is at least something very much like dogmatic.
I happen to believe they’re essentially right, but we live in an imperfect world and I still want my microcode bugs patched so I do that.
