I guess you've never had a reason to check what processes are doing what on your systems. I've never been comfortable with the mess you get upon opening something like top on a systemd managed OS. It isn't just the aesthetics of it... it is difficult to reason through the pages of tasks and it creates a lot of low level performance noise (preemption, task switching overhead, etc). For example, one of my Void flavored machines is using runit: 11 tasks; but a freshly booted headless Debian using systemd: 95 tasks... and that is with a massively slimmed down, purpose built, kernel. Abstractions atop abstraction... the amount of waste in the pursuit of generality has to stop - if this silicon shortage doesn't do it nothing will.
