TL;DR: systemd's supporters treat anyone who doesn't like it as an enemy to be defeated rather than a fellow traveller who is taking a different path.
If I look at launchd or upstart or openrc or runit, I see a project which wants a competitive landscape where they can demonstrate their merits for various uses.
Systemd's supporters might as well be devil-worshipping baby eaters, but that's not any argument for or against systemd as such, that's simply irrelevant.

When I look at systemd I see Microsoft.
This has more to do with the tint of your lenses (and those of the article's author) than the layout of the software.

Not entirely irrelevant. Sociopath risk is real.
Not sure I understand. Are you implying that we should resist systemd because Poettering is a sociopath?
