You're essentially saying that the month you spent is enough for you to call it bad and the creators incompetent.
What qualifies you to make a determination like that?
There is never any actual technical reasons it's always about vague things like not adhering to UNIX philosophy, lines of code or it being badly designed (without any real architectural criticism)
This is an article about why they believe sudo isn't a good system. Where's your criticism of that from a technical / security perspective?
It's been about 10 years since systemd was adopted by Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Fedora etc.
Millions of deployments over the years. The companies that build and are paid to support for years with SLAs the operating systems are using it without issue.

I did not mention the first two, so please do not pretend I argued that. For bad design look at transactions. That is really dumb and makes the system near incomprehensible. The documentation is bad, dbus is literally so bad they tell you not to use it without a wrapper. The terminology is very questionable and makes it hard to explain what a unit actually does.
But I don't even see that as the worst part. The worst part is that they fundamentally can't do basic software engineering, in the sense that they do not have a defined project scope. Everything is potentially a systemd issue and not once does anyone take a step back and say "maybe systemd" isn't the right place to fix that problem.

If you don't read my posts please do not respond to me. Look at the first post I made and carefully read it.

I read your OP. It does not contain a technical / security criticism of run0. It's an angry, hand-wavey, vague rant against a project that took a design decision you apparently disagree with, but lacking any actual analytical evaluation of the thing up for discussion.
This sort of top-level post shows up on every single article that mentions "systemd", so you'll maybe understand why people tend to be dismissive.
