Every distro has decided they are primarily a workstation OS maybe system d has a place if your trying to make linux like windows but on a server deployment i do not want any of the garbage it has to offer. I want concise static config that doesn't get changed by 50 different init processes. Init scripts for servers was 1000x better. Ontop of that almost all of my use case is running docker containers. I don't deploy or start anything on the hosts but network and the oci container layer so i basically dont need an init manager for anything as the orchestration layer manages containers.
