You are on the right track then.

No, it would be far too long, so I'll just say this:

systemd flies in the face of absolutely *everything* Unix/Linux
philosophy stands for.

ie: Do One Thing and Do It Well

The web is filled with details and thorough explanations to look
for/read if you are so inclined.

Key words: Unix philosophy | Bell Sysytem Tech Journals
Ken Thompson | Dennis Ritchie, to start off.

To finish and illustrate the point, I'll quote from a post (not mine)
at The Register from 05/2017, more than seven years ago:

"Systemd also has its dirty fingers into other parts of the system.
As a replacement for sysvinit it is supposed to be an init system,
but because its scope goes far beyond the initialization phase (and
it doesn't let you take the good without the bad) it has become a
dependency for many userspace programs that should never have any
reason to interact with the init system at all, making it harder to
use those programs on a non-systemd system."

Best,

A.
