Basically systemd is not just a replacement for init, it's a huge project which reimplements a lot of "legacy" services that were handled by other packages. So people think it steps over its boundaries. Not being very Unix-y.

That said, anything is better than bloody sysvinit. Kids these days don't know how much jank and spaghetti we had to deal with back in those crappy days
