That's almost entirely correct, with one exception:
> It fits the personality profile of not wanting to learn new things.
'systemd haters' learn a lot. They learn how to write manual boot scripts, set up mdev instead of udev, compile their own kernel, install their own u-boot or coreboot, strip binary blobs, etc. etc. They know MORE than the average systemd guy. They just don't want to learn systemd.
Isn't the whole purpose of systemd to ease and automate administration and configuration, so the user need not care? Doesn't that imply that systemd admins/users know LESS?

Now let me make my own characterization of 'systemd enthusiasts'.
These people are overworked sysadmins that hate manual configuration. They want it easy, everything automated, they want to not care about it, they want the distro to auto-do everything and not even ask, they want less admin work. Systemd does all these things for them and they are in heaven. They're so enthusiastic that they feel we should all be one big happy family under the systemd umbrella.
But they fail too see that no company or manager will tolerate people that are _not_ overworked.
When something becomes automated, people previously doing the manual job are fired. A 10 people non-systemd team that works day-and-night to set manually up boot, mounts, network, services, cron, backups, logs, etc., as soon as systemd automates the work, will be cut down to just one guy (or less) and he will still work day-and-night, same as before, doing the work of the entire team. And he won't be able to take break because there's nobody left to replace him.
They also fail to see that resilience comes from diversity. Uniformity, systems where software is identical, updates are identical, configuration is identical, permissions are identical, etc., will also fail identically and probably at the same time, and will be hacked identically and at the same time (by automated bots/tools).
