You're wrong.

No seriously, a lot of developers aren't jumping on the bandwagon.
Witness Samba retaining their --without-systemd compile flag. Observe
Funtoo and Void both saying "systemd never!" Alpine forgot to switch to
systemd, as did quite a few others.

And of course there's Devuan, who is thumbing their nose at systemd
(and therefore at Redhat), and surviving quite well. The world sees
this, and almost two years after Debian's capitulation, the world is
still asking "what's wrong with systemd?" Redhat wants to consolidate
their gains and move on, the community won't let it.
