Soon systemd arrives with its promise of being a unified userspace

ostensibly.
Everyone hops on the bandwagon and there you are. Now we get to hear
about how systemd solves so many long-standing problems with the
distributions, but I can't shake the feeling that many of them were
self-inflicted through indifference and/or incompetence.
I think you nailed it exactly. Inertia is the most potent force in
the universe.
Basically, to get supervision suites - or anything else - adopted by
distributions, the only necessary thing is to do all their work for
them.
