Where's the good thing? In making POSIX even more of a joke? In providing low quality "chase this API" target? In enforced obsolescence?
Systemd does not provide stable APIs.
For that, a standarization process is required and has not been followed.
Or at least a conservative approach to API and ABI, like Linux kernel itself has.
The whole thing is following a big ball of mud approach that has previously resulted in Linux distros having up to 5 sound APIs active at the same time.
One of which is Lennart's work and getting obsolesced. (PulseAudio, much better written than systemd, by Pipewire. Because it cannot handle video and realtime.)
To achieve its aims it has to be actually good, well written, have a working minimal core feature set and be version compatible.
So far this has not happened for init.
