What Franco said, and one more thing: Cause, for example, there are
several wonderful modern init systems out there if you don't like
sysvinit, and those init systems are much easier to install on a system
that doesn't have systemd tenticles running through every component.

You heard that from a guy who installed Epoch on both Manjaro and
Manjaro OpenRC edition. The decreased difficulty installing it to the
OpenRC edition was astounding.
