What does a package format have to do with an init system? RPM doesn't give a flying crap what init system is being used. RPMs however can pull their upstream service files, where as DEBs Debian has to go through and make Debian-specific service files cause of "init-freedom", whatever the fuck that means.
For RPM:s you have to manually perform each and every step for each and every different init, e.g for systemd you have to sprinkle %systemd_preun and %systemd_postun_with_restart macros with the added drawaback that said macros only exist if you build on a system that runs that particular init so you cannot easily build a upstart package on a system that only have sysvinit and so on.
Now this does not bother the distributions since they always create individual packages for each and every version of the distribution that they maintain but I that create 3d party applications and that have to build for several systems at once have to maintain several .spec scripts for RPM:s just to make it work while I can use a single DEB setup regardless of for which debian bases distribution or version that I'm building for.

From my experience most are based off alpine, and I've heard devops complain about every piece of software that requires glibc.
