  When you design a library you have to design a way to interact with it. Complaining about systemd because of that is basically saying 'I don't like the api you provide'. People who hate systemd want traditional C API, systemd wants message passing. If you don't like some of binaries, you can remove them and make your own package. If you don't like a particular implementation you can write your own subsystem that uses the same API (as many projects have done). Basically its just people complaining that it does work exactly as they want, when in reality message passing is the exact right way to make system like that.
