It filters out: people who just want to complain about centralization; people who are annoyed about change and trying to rationalize it without trying or learning the new tool; and people who irrationally feel like they are no longer in control. Paradoxically, this improves the signal of discussions about systemd's flaws, and there are plenty. With the obviously irrational/haven't-used-it/axe-to-grind stuff filtered out, it's much easier to learn about real features, problems, fixes, benefits, and drawbacks of any project, systemd included.
