In general, the first method doesn't compose well with package
transformations that replace inputs, since it will still refer to the
original bash input.  The bottom one will always search for a /bin/bash
binary among all the inputs, so will pick up a new one if the input is
replaced.  Also, in general, inside phases, if you're building natively,
native-inputs is always #f and inputs also contains the native inputs,
hence the need for that (or ...) form.

HTH,
