Considering that I wrote that in reply to you and also in reply to the
other person who asserted "Don't worry. We just have you best interest
in mind!" why was there any uncertainty of the technical purpose of
libsystemd?

That "systemd developers/ supporters" like asserting that everyone who
doesn't agree with their opinion on anything is mentally deranged in
this or that way is also not exactly new. They've been doing this for a
while and it's pretty much how most less-than-brilliant people regard
anybody who disagrees with any of their opinions.
