Don't you feel like that's a little melodramatic? I mean they created open source software and forced exactly zero distro's or people to use it.
I feel like every time I read about something with systemd someone is acting like there is a gun to their head to use it. If your distro of choice _chose_ to use systemd then your beef is with them forcing it on you...not systemd devs. They made an init system - your distro maintainers are the ones who decided it was the superior choice.
- dingaling 10y agosystemd development is led by Red Hat, the $2 billion per annum gorilla in the corner. Third-party software, particularly from commercial vendors, typically uses Red Hat as the base system requirement. So you are correct, no-one holds a gun to distro maintainers' heads and forces systemd. They just find that there's no path forward without either [1] committing resources to keep abreast of the changes that systemd is creating both directly and indirectly or [2] just adopting systemd. Red Hat has won at this point through sheer persistence and clout, so most distros are going with option [2].
