It is that all this fuss has been made in the name of making "Linux Desktop" a better experience, while the major use of Linux is on servers, backend infrastructure, and high performance computing, where users give no more than a shit to how beautiful their Linux desktop looks like, since most of the time they don't have one. Linux desktops amount to no more than 1% of the total desktop users. Even if some "magic" can increase this percentage by an incredible 300%, it will still be 4% of the market. So it's obvious that "desktop users" cannot be the real reason behind systemd and the quest to eaten up all the low-level userspace. The server market is the reason. And it's there that you need "One Ring to Rule Them All"...
