Well for one, systemd hooks to a large number of functions/subsystems that used to be more isolated. Logging, udev, dbus, churn, networking functions, etc. So it's a bit of a judgement call to say it has a larger or smaller attack surface than separating the functions out. I don't know how to really quantify if in the end it ends up more risky one way or another.
