You forget that sysvinit also required fun extras like supervisord to run simple executables because it relied on applications demonizing themselves.

Writing systemd unit files for my applications is a breeze compared to the shit I had to do for sysvinit - especially when I factor in apps I DIDN'T write that I need unit files for (teamcity, etc) and there's less surprise with SELinux policy transitions (and unlike most setenforce 0 is not the first thing I run on a server, I work in healthcare and a solid MAC layer is important to me).
