They didn't make their argument on choice, so your argument rings hollow:
Don't get me wrong, systemd actually adds a lot of needed functionality, but I really feel like it is a major philosophical branch away from the conventional Unix thinking of 'make a tool that does one thing really well'.

The person replying to you had an argument based around choice: the practicality of the solution was ignored in favor of an abstract concept of choice, rather than practical benefit. (I'm saying the person arguing with you was arguing against something you weren't arguing for.)
