As the existence of CoreOS proves, much of systemd benefits are not desktop-oriented, and I can assure you that many systemd developers/maintainers are not desktop developers but experienced sysadmins/developers. Thas said, while I may agree with the spirit of the GR, like I may agree with the existence of the Hurd and kFreeBSD ports, I wonder who will do the work needed to patch and support other init systems, given that up to now no-one bothered putting some actual work instead of pretending others should do it. At least the Hurd and kFreeBSD porters were kind enough of carrying out most of the effort themselves, even if unfortunately I don't think it was sufficient. (And no, please, systemd has nothing to do with Windows, please avoid such baseless comments which only manage to start useless flames)
