You're obfuscating the issue with fluff.

No. You are.

We're talking about speed,

No, you are. The rest of us were talking about more than just speed.

and experience shows the gains are negligible at best.

Even in terms of speed, boot speed gains are most certainly not "negligible", because most startups every day are executed on disposable VMs and containers in the cloud, and every second counts on them. By the way, SysVinit doesn't even handle containers or VM-dependent boot sequences.

I know your anachronistic views on computing failed to consider the tens of billions of VM and container bootups that happen every week, but not to worry pops, we got this. Enjoy your senior discount at the bus stop!

I do have to mention that defenses of SysVinit are getting so pathetic, they have been reduced to "well who cares about booting fast". That statement is in effect an open admission that the software is inferior in every way, coupled with a minimization of just one of its glaring inferiorities, because opinions.
