I agree with you.  But it underscores a major difference between two very
different ways of thinking about computing, which can be described as
"Unix-think" vs. "Windows-think".

systemd represents nothing so much as the bringing of "Windows-think" to Unix.

If one embraces "Windows-think", then systemd makes complete sense.

In fact, systemd is a lot of like the original goal of MS's "dot net",
which was to put a solid wall between the applications programmer and the
actual operating system.
