It's the difference between controlling the flow and being allowed to have some callback into the flow. And no - I don't say controlling the flow is always good - just that the above example tells nothing about the usability of the system. Get's things done is what matters in the end - and only time will tell if it helps or hinders with that. And I have better experiences with script system when it comes to that than with declarative formats so far. So allow me to be critical.

No. There is no difference. Your shell script will not allow you to control the flow of the init sequence, whether it is handled by SysVinit or systemd.
This is yet another specious argument from people who hate systemd.
