I’ve seen this pattern play out before. The pushback on simpler alternatives seems from a legitimate need for short time to market from the demand some of the equation and a lack of knowledge on the supply side. Every time I hear an engineer call something hacky, they are at the edge of their abilities.

systemd would be a derail even if you weren’t misrepresenting the situation at several levels. Experienced sysadmins in my experience were the ones pushing adoption because they had to clean up the messes caused by SysV’s design limitations and flaws, whereas in this case it’s a different scenario where the extra functionality is both unneeded and making it worse at the core task.
