I agree on this. But in the thread I mentioned, Mark David Dumlao was quite
aggressive in his wording when the subject was brought up and he claimed
systemd proponents don't care. Canek is the biggest proponent for systemd on
this list.

I'm not, actually. The only advantage I have heard so far that is of interest
to me is it's supposedly faster boot-time. The only machine I have that takes
a long time to boot spends 50% of the time to get to Grub. The rest is then
used to bring up the host and a variety of VMs. That machine only gets a
reboot when a new kernel is needed for the host.

As long as this is true, I will be happy.
