please try another service manager that is not 20 years old before developing your opinion on this. you might hate it or whatever, but it’s better than keeping saying “systemd is better than sysvinit!!” quietly ignoring the actual systemd alternatives people are using that are not pre-historic. dinit/runit are ones I’ve used previously and were very good and did the same things systemd did for me as a desktop user

I’m long past the age where I try things out just for the sake of it. For me, a tool has to solve an actual problem. Runit fails that test immediately because its dependency management is too weak. Dinit looks like a better fit, but I don’t need it, because my current system works perfectly with systemd, and I have no interest in doing by hand what the distro maintainer already took care of for me.
