But why is there no such pushback agains linux kernel? What makes that monolith you cannot customize different enough from systemd? What if I don't want to use in-kernel usb stack, or audit, or key management, or LSM modules, or ELF binfmt support, or filesystems — you are forced by the distro to use all those features. Yet with systemd it's somehow different. I'm genuinely curious
