Having sniffed around the Linux community for years, I feel like whatever flaws SystemD has as a computer program are of tertiary importance when faced with the thing that really matters:
The developer of SystemD was mildly rude to some community members that one time. That means he is two hitlers and a stalin wearing a trenchcoat and everything he makes must be utter garbage.
Yeah they seem to think he "took over" the Linux init process all by himself. Like distro maintainers aren't the ones who made the decision to move to systemd based on technical merits (presumably).
It is on technical merits as you don't see maintainers complaining about systemd, only users who just don't like it for number of randomly picked reasons.
I interacted with him briefly in a forum but didn't realize who he was until later. He had that a bit of that programmer awkwardness going, but also having such a vocal abd sustained backlash against a major project you've been working on for years has to affect the poor dude pretty heavily.

I think people like that view Linux as some kind of fiefdom rather than a community of individuals.
