I don't think so? I skipped only the questions, maybe there? I didn't hear him mention those other systems, might have missed that. You can argue that he does that indirectly: He likes that systemd provides something like a service layer, which the tools I mentioned don't really do. Maybe you mean that. That would work, I just happen to think he is wrong there. That's not the job of init, making it a plus point of an init system is some kind of mental gymnastics I don't agree with (though I liked that talk).
