Scope creep and not-invented-here syndrome; replaces a lot of unix/gnu tooling/specifications with poorer ones, while shitting on some that made *nix great. Which is why your distro is either Systemd or not, and not-Systemd distros still need wrappers and shims, because Systemd also enforces some things in apps.
Then there was only hackjob SysV scripts or Systemd, so it’s understandable that most big distros switched to it but now there’s s6, runit, Dinit and you need to create a extra distro for them for above reasons. I’m using Artix btw.
Ok, that’s a plus in my book. Probably Alpine (often used in containers) or something.
Edit: cut the first question into another one, since this one here likely derails into a System discussion.
On a side note, why do you dislike systemd and apt? I just stumbled into Linux and didn’t much consider such questions yet
Can’t speak to him, but I have used unix-like software since the 1990s.
The entire UNIX philosophy boils down to one simple fact. Everything is a file.
This makes maintenance a breeze as no special tools are needed.
You don’t need to install anything to read log files.
You can pull a hard drive from a dead system, and just read all the logs.
Most of systemd is just a solution in search of a problem.

What’s runit
