Thanks. I removed this because I felt it was unfair on Windows. Windows has strange things in it, but then Raymond Chen will write a post clearly explaining it, and they are strong on backwards compatibility. Everything you say is true. But you can read docs and write in C and work to a conclusion. Systemd is shaping up to be a layer of complexity that constantly shifts underneath you. It is going to be a nightmare for people who build on unix. The unix api and conventions are our bedrock. This is not sustainable.
