"...most users have embraced systemd and there was not a large exodus to
FreeBSD or alternatives."

Differences in OS architecture aside, Switching to FreeBSD is not
trivial. Especially if you have an infrastructure built around managing
Linux specifics such as package management, Filesystem ACLs and packages
specific to Linux which are not available on FreeBSD. Not to mention
reams of documentation. All that needs to have countless hours of time
re-invested to make it functional. Now take into account the training.
Just the firewall itself is so different, even a seasoned linux admin is
going to need awhile to connect the dots from Netfilter to Ipfilter.

For the alternatives, there is very little that has not been affected by
the tentacluar nature of systemd. The "fast boot times" Mr Whitehurst
quoted has long been a misnomer for "we're basically going to f--- with
everything" and he knows this.

I have some systemd encumbered systems and Devuan boot times beat them
hands down. The difference is so profound I can't believe anyone at
Redhat would even use that as a justification any more but they do
because nobody is going to argue with "we did it to make it faster".
