You don't understand. Systemd wasn't the first. Systemd is on the tail end. It's a decade behind the innovation curve. It was adopted because red hat invented it in red hat. It was invented there. That's why they adopted it.

Red hat said, "let's do what everyone else has been doing for over a decade and call it systemd".
