I don't believe that. There are many ways to express an opinion about Linux software, e.g. by writing about it, or by rejecting some software, or by adopting some different software.

I don't use systemd on my systems, I prefer sysvinit and openrc, and I sometimes express my arguments for why. Why would I have to write my own init system just to express my opinion that for some usecases, other software is better than systemd?

You've decided the best way forward for you is to write sysvinit and openrc scripts. That's an opinion completely focused around writing some additional code. You don't have to write it all from scratch to be expressing that opinion, you can express it a lot of different ways but that's all it encompasses. Unless we're talking about something else that I missed? Suggesting that something is better than something else is really meaningless without that.
