Mpan answered[1] my question: I did not know that "modern means current non ancient" and "modern does not mean futuristic". (I did believe that "modern" ~= "futuristic".)
Ok, I see my mistake, but then I have another question. If "being modern" means just "staying current"—what is the "selling point"? Almost any Linux distro could say "hey, we're staying current—we use systemd".
