You didn't say that but even if you meant that systemd is an open source project and it has multiple components. It is not just a binary blob. It is a coherent framework for basic system services. It is pick and choose for the most part. Most distro choose to use all of it.
I still disagree that liking systemd and disliking windows is incompatible. Windows is a closed source project, developed without much external input that has a clear monetary incentives that are often user hostile. The way it's system api works is rarely the reason for criticizing it.

I didn't spell it out but it was the clear point I was making.

Missing the forest for the trees. It being open source is irrelivant here.

I never said it was.

I never said it was. You seem to be having an entirely different discussion.
If that is not what you are arguing than I honestly have no idea what your point is.
And I'm fine with that. Let's just leave it here. Cheers.
