Replacing a bad system (sysvinit) with another bad system (systemd) is just change for change's sake.

ah yes, the old "everything must be perfect before we are allowed to change anything" scree.

The only thing this accomplishes is ensuring no progress is made, ever.

Well, in fairness, systemd isn't really a matter of changing sysvinit. It's changing the entire low-level userspace, so there's a lot more one can object to, in principle.
