I also think there can be an over reaction to Redhat. I know someone who
works for them, and distrusts systemd as much as anyone on this list,
and I gather that he is not alone in that view within redhat.

It seems to be a pretty accurate rule of thumb that any company that is
publically owned cannot be trusted. Google and RH were not too bad until
they were listed. It seems that then the corrupting suits move in and destroy
any ethics.
