To over-simplify, it's about conflicting philosophical alignment:

- systemd: integration and features at the cost of complexity and scope

- traditional: simplicity and composability at the cost of boot speed and convenience

systemd conflicts against the more traditional unix philosophies as well as minimalism.

systemd also replaces some pre-existing services with its own reimplementations that are worse. The systemd developers aren't e.g. DNS or NTP experts, but they act like it and the results reflect all that.

You are correct. My comment was over simplified deliberately. I felt integration and scope accounted for the details in a TL;DR one slide answer.
