I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. The absorption of udev and basically forced dependency on systemd from important desktop environment projects also controlled by RH is a very real reason why this happened.

Nothing prevented people from forking udev if they didn't want to take systemd.

      Thanks for the great read. mdev is indeed nice alternative to udev monstruosity. It is somewhat supported in Gentoo https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev
