Even if we ignore the fact that systemd made it artificially difficult* for distros to support other init systems (so it wasn't a freely made "choice"), have you never encountered a situation where the popular choice turned out to be the wrong one? Think, for example, of people throwing their trash into nearby rivers, or developers using 2 digits to store year values.
(* Imagine being a volunteer for a distro and having to deal with bugs like "I installed my new printer and it changed my init system[0] / my system no longer boots").
