I'm not so sure if it really has that much to do with heritage. A lot of us like the design principles you can see in Unix and that are pretty much absent in systems like Windows NT. They very much reflect the conclusions I came to after over fifteen years of building and debugging systems.

But, yes, I have the impression that a lot of Linux users would just as gladly use a modern BeOS or a ReactOS, regardless of the underlying design.

And a lot of systemd criticism comes from people who are just averse to any kind of change and maybe long for the bygone days of HP-UX and Irix.

There is change and there is change.
