So we will have a closed OS just like macOS and Windows but linux based. I don't see why it would stop all the other open source distros to exist.

Systemd is just another init system. People said the same thing about how it can exist with other ones in a level playing field.

By the virtue of having some motivated backers, not only they have pushed everyone out from any distro which matters or acts as a root for others, they have formed a neat little company called Amutable which produces tech allowing anyone to lockdown any installation to an immutable, untouchable state.

Yeap, systemd is just another init system existing on a level playing field. They just dare to be successful by tackling problems that people have today over trying to deliver solutions designed in 1989.

Because well funded projects start to hire developers all over the place to add dependencies and it's very difficult to do otherwise when you have an army of salaried people who do that 40h a week.
