I'm not against systemd, it's just that the muscle memory takes a _long_ time to change, particularly for things that you don't do frequently.
Nobody knows what the end game of systemd even is. Started out as an init replacement, now it's doing all kinds of stuff. I had to bail on Debian because systemd failed hard when it took over user directories.
systemd is a suite of tools. systemd(1) is a service manager. You have a misunderstanding of systemd.
