Poettering and Systemd are amazing and Linux would not be as good as it is today without them. Whether you like it or not, we can't have a fragmented ecosystem and expect people and companies to adopt it (see the 14 competing standards XKCD). Having one solid base that works the same on every client is like literally the base requirement for making a product for the said client. Systemd, flatpak, xdg-portals, pipewire and immutable distros all solve this.
Here's my hot take: I don't care what operating system most people use. If people are happy on Windows, let them stay on Windows. That's not my problem. When you say we need to make Linux less diverse and interesting to make number go up because more biggerer number more gooderer then suddenly that is my problem. You are trying to make my experience worse for the sake of something I do not care about.
There is nothing wrong with systemd. Most people on Linux are using it, and that's fine. Options are good too though. I specifically like Linux because it's NOT a bunch of homogeneous lowest common denominator sameyness. That's the very thing I don't want.
The thing with Linux is you can use it however you want
Ironically, pipewire is built to replace pulseaudio.
Which was built because of the limitations of ALSA.
Immutable distros are never going to catch on as they are to complex.
We're in the process of starting to use them in production, once your understand the concepts and implement a proper buildchain they solve a lot of problems, especially when it comes to verified system integrity and a|b updating.
Abstraction seems like the next step for them after the underlying systems mature out.
