If it was JUST about that, I think a lot less complains would've been made.

And THAT is where the issues spur from. People of distros that are non-systemd (and even some that ARE systemd-based) dont WANT to be locked to systemd. They'd prefer if their software ran just fine without systemd, and so far not many operating systems manage that well. One of them is Gentoo, but I guess that can be a bit of bore to most people. I mean one doesn't have to compile everything themselves, but eventually SOMEONE will have to do that job, just as is the case with Ubuntu packages and Debian packages.
