what is the difference between the adoption of systemd and that of X or Wayland?b
aren’t those equally “mainstream” and don’t they also leave almost no chance to have an alternative (especially for the average user)?
this is a genuine question because, while I know and understand the sentiment against systemd, I realized just now that on the 20 years I’ve been on Linux many things I’ve used were kinda against “freedom”.

AFAIK, neither X nor Wayland have ties to tech giants. Possibly more practically, X and Wayland both fulfil one purpose/need, whereas Systemd has some scope-creep going on, which feels a tad intentional.
