I'm not "zenning over" anything. I need a computer to get work done. I don't need to be mucking with the computer to keep it working. My choice is to use a (mostly) closed system, because it meets my needs. Other people don't like systemd because they feel it removes their choices. There is no contradiction in the two approaches. There's also no irony. If Unix had started out with something like systemd, fewer people would be complaining about it now. It's the change that people don't like. And the apparent removal of choice.
