I claim nothing; I merely report common views. ;-)
This is missing the point. There is precisely nothing any system with systemd does that they could not do before systemd existed. Maybe they boot a few seconds faster, every year or two when they do reboot? Ha ha. systemd is the purest example ever of "change for the sake of change". It solves literally zero problems while introducing several. All cost + no benefit = idiotic.
