Remember some people never used the previous init and logging systems. They're new to Linux or UNIX, they may be even young (and growing up with Systemd).

Not just in this particular case but more broadly it is important to note there's going to be opponents who are used to X, Y, and Z and don't want to relearn or adapt. It is akin to the never ending progressive vs conservative argument. Just how large is the group though? Is there backwards compatibility? You see, I just use 3 Raspberry Pi's and I am apparently still able to use /var/log.
