He doesn't do it explicitly but implicitly by designing Systemd in such a way that it can't be replaced by another init system. > The market will decide, and you, will decide. It used to be this way. Then at some point folks at Debian faced a difficult decision: we either don't include SysV Init, or we don't include Gnome since it depends on Systemd. From this point on things ran downhill and here we are fully trapped in Systemd, with rare exceptions confirming the rule. These days, if someone wants to break away from Systemd (like Knoppix did recently), you need an enormous effort.
