Several of those inits required services to be configured in XML.
Tell me one more time just so I understand: Why would *anybody*
configure their services with XML, thereby requiring the init system to
have a built in XML parser? XML parser in PID1, what could possibly go
wrong?
Quoting the document: "This article is not meant to impart any technical
judgments, but to simply document what has been done".
I don't think the author of the document is condoning XML configuration
any more than you and I are. (Context: VR is also the author of uselessd
and he eventually gave up on it because systemd was just too complex to
redesign.)
