If systemd is as bad as people say, why did every major distro adopt it? Honestly, it has been so dramatic to read about this - why did it go through almost everywhere if there are such concerns? Are the concerns unfounded?

Just because people are adding it to things doesn’t mean it’s any good. Most distros pipe all of their audio over TCP for absolutely no good reason too, also at the hands of Pottering.
