Sysadmins that have to care how the system is running and being organized behind the scenes gonna kill someone before they have to went back to bash script for system management, people who complains about systemd do it because ideological reasons, don't like LP, Unix philosophy or something, etc, or never learned it and want to argue that their mess of bash scripts, that they use solely to boot their system and nothing more, are somewhat more stable or secure
From the problems and use case you're describing, that's the first category: sysadmins who just need stuff to work so they can move on.
