As said before, people only want differences and complain here. Don't listen, don't do anything, don't have experience, don't read. They do twist things so their opinion stays the same.

And again, MS implemented this because they had an interest. They charged by the software. If everyone involved in developing (either by funding or by directly developing) is using systemd, it becomes obvious this will be their first choice when implementing features depending on the init system, and the only one they will be interested in implementing themselves. They seem to have been kind enough to make it abstract, so other interested individuals can implement the same features within other init systems. Expecting otherwise would have been as expecting MS had shifted to enhance Apple's GUI instead of making one for their own OS: what interest could they have on doing so?
Losing users who don't contribute a thing is not a lose from the point of view of support. It might make you less popular, but as long as RHEL users are happy with it, the users paying the bill are mostly satisfied (and whoever makes donations, of course).
