Indeed. In the free software world, we recently had the conspiracy about Red Hat somehow destroying GNU/Linux with systemd. Several long-time Debian developers have stopped contributing because they were tired of being personally attacked on the mailing list. By users who do not know the first thing about init systems but had the "intuition" that systemd was bad.

All major distributions have now adopted systemd. Nothing terrible happened. On the contrary, sysadmins look happy with the new features systemd brought. Those who predicted a great "exodus" (their word) and tried to "fork debian" have, one year after Debian 8 Jessie was released (the first Debian stable with systemd by default), only produced alpha versions: https://devuan.org
