I haven't seen good arguments in favor of it, I mostly just don't like being told what i can and can't do with my system, for that same reason if someone likes systemd then go for it. or windows. or mac, etc.

circle jerking can be it's own reward. to wit, pfetch-like installers are all cringe. it might maybe (if you are retarded) be useful in vm and server situations. is cat /proc/version too hard? huh?

also tiling window managers. i don't get it. god invented pointing devices because we are visual animals. our eyes move faster than we can process and anyone with half decent hand eye coordination can use pointing devices faster than remembering one of 2 dozen hotkeys. if you use a tile window manager stop dipping your damn toes in and go full chording wm with emacs! i honestly have no idea how people deal with set sized windows and positions. arbitraily sized and position windows that fluctuate on a moment to moment basis! it's the one true way!

Regardless of whether you like systemd or not, the issue is that it tries to choke out the rest of the ecosystem by bundling all sorts of unrelated functions in itself, and making unilateral decisions that should be made by distro maintainers... behaves more corpo than redhat or canonical. Their way or the highway

Systemd is an evolution upon sysv/shellscripts and better than init systems like runit or openrc but it's a software suite with too much shit nobody uses. All the good features have already been implemented by modern init systems like s6, dinit (even has systemd like syntax) or GNU Shepherd on Guix.
Only problem is that those are less universal. You can get all on Artix (and Arch is one of the most popular distributions though most software is under AUR which isn't ideal) expect Shepherd which is pretty much specific to Guix. Chimera Linux is probably my favorite of the non-functional distros if you don't need glibc (Alpine Linux's Wiki has some resources on running glibc software using chroot).

It's only an ameriKKKan and Brazilian law. There's no reason to add it to an init system used internationally. Just do a baby_mode ISO for USA and Brazil. Honestly they're just playing into the schizophrenic's delusions before it just connected to Google's DNS I think but so does LineageOS and alot of software. I don't remember why but I guess systemd is also a DHCP client.
