You get to choose whether to install systemd on your system or not, something you do not get with others. There are many more consent-related things which appeal to me in FOSS, and influence my choices in what I install: The choice to upgrade or not upgrade my packages. The choice to be reminded to upgrade my packages or not. The choice to not have any UI changes without asking for them. In Mac and Windows land, none of these choices are available without surgery. In FOSS land, it depends on which distribution you choose. Some behave, some don't.
