I can actually understand what's going on with other init systems. They're basically just a list of stuff that gets run before you even log in. I do not understand everything that systemd does. I like understanding what my computer is doing. Most people don't care about that, and there's nothing wrong with that, but systemd is not what I want. I feel forced into using it anyway though, because it can be a lot of work to avoid it, and there's no reason for that beyond the fact that not enough people care.
I get it. I'm in a small niche within a small niche. Nobody owes me an easy alternative to systemd. I'd still like one though.
Exactly. Other systems are clearly doing one thing: init. Systemd wants to do everything
