There aren't actually two sides of this. There are only in the scope of systemd vs everyone else (just because systemd is something that is pushed as THE solution).

There are multiple solutions that all have their supporters. And we generally actually get along and work together pretty well. BEcause we don't think that one solution is necessarily better than the other in all aspects. It shouldn't be “provide a reasonable alternative to systemd and then we will compare”. “We” won't “compare” anything. Competition is awesome, “we” shouldn't “choose” just one implementation of anything just because the majority of distros uses it. It should be “let people do their thing and please don't hard-depend on this one init system or anything else without a really good reason to do so”.
