"The number of people administering small systems is much greater than the number of people administering large systems"
Do you have any evidence for this statement? Because it sounds all kinds of wrong.

There are a lot of hobbyists, a vast number of people with a Linux box in the corner of the office or a few cloud instances, a smaller number of people running IT for multinationals and one or two people who have whole datacenters to themselves. The larger the system, the lower the computer/human ratio.
If I read it correctly there are about 250 million active sites (roughly). It seems unlikely that they are all massive corporate sites.
As an aside, the idea that systemd is a good thing is hilarious to me at the least because it is so brash about making an important change to a huge chunk of the system. Yes the bugs will eventually get ironed out, but in the meantime? Count me out! I have work to do and am not interested in being a free tester for Redhat on my live systems.
That gives a lot of economy scales.
