I started reading but stopped as soon as it was a systemd rant. systemd, while not for everyone is a good for most people.

I kept on reading because I use OSes that have different init systems, one of which is systemd. Choice is great. Of course, your comment could be accused of being a rant too.

Choice is great, but I don't think we can expect everyone to maintain "unit files" for every init system. If you can and can afford to run systemd it's probably worth it, it's a "nice to have" most of the time.

If you wanna run your own init solution you can but it might be a bit of effort, embedded people often do this while a system like a desktop with dbus and display servers and IPC left and right might standardize on systemd
