If you didn't have your head firmly up your ass (don't cry little
snowflake) you would be well aware of what is already very old news:

To explain things simply, GNU/Linux cannot make enough money for
IBM/RedHat if it contains too much variety and choice.  It therefore
*must* be transformed into a monolithic OS with a standard user interface
and standard everything else, just like M$/Apphole.

If you actually *understood* the software that you so willingly mooch
you would also be well aware that this always was, and still is, the
raison detre for systemd.

Your blatant ignorance makes you more of an enemy than a supporter
of GNU/Linux/FOSS.
