It’s at odds with the philosophy of do one thing and do it well. Its monolithic feature set pushes out smaller contributors and leads to increased reliance on a singular package. This tends to self reinforce. I also use systemd in my current distro so not sure where I stand on this but it’s a fair concern.

Everything on modern OSes is at odds with the Unix philosophy ("do one thing well"), including *nix.

ls has more flags than a Soviet military parade.
