From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't disagree with you but... it also provides a cohesive ecosystem of tools to manage linux. What we had before was a poorly integrated mess of smaller tools that was just too hard to maintain and sometimes use.
Besides not all systemd components come out of the box with the base binary, some have to be installed if you need them. And no, it doesn't get in the way. :)
@TCB13 Problem is by being one big bloatware, rather than a set of small discrete tools, if one part of it misbehaves, your entire system is toast instead of just removing, replacing, or fixing that one part. That's why that philosophy belongs in Windows NOT Linux.
