Sure. My point was that anyone can claim that systemd is (un)popular in the embedded space. Samsung's starting to release Tizen-driven phones, TVs, white goods, etc. Tizen uses systemd and, given the size of Samsung, the number of systemd embedded devices is going to skyrocket in the next few years. Samsung wouldn't have chosen systemd for Tizen if it were too resource hungry for its use case. There might be devices where systemd's too fat to be wedged in but it's unfortunately going to be difficult to know whether this is really the case or whether that determination's shaded by an anti-systemd bias. :(
