My conjecture about this would be that it's a bad case of the tail
wagging the dog because it wrongly considers itself to be the head. But
speculating about people in this way is unwise: This only lends itself
to another "stock counterspell" namely "people wouldn't mind systemd at
all weren't the jealous of the achievements of its authors", IOW,
that criticism really means "the criticised thing is great but the
critic a bad person".
