in debian they called red hat systemd part of linux wars
i'm glad to see Apple has taken enough interest to improve and not just "take code and use it"
however for BOTH OF THEM: there was no reason to disable System V and bsd'ish rc (often both used and supported on some systems). systemd and launchd could be processes (spawned/forked) by init
people today have ZERO respect for not clobbering namespaces (using a new name, and a long descriptive one) and not breaking what already works - causing versional depends havoc and migration nightmares
i think both are fine but the idea that "everyone must rewrite when apple or RH changes their mind" (ie, any admin with a key to hack others) is what is wrong with today's IT. they do whatever they please and get paid while others suffer. simply put - clobbering should not be allowed any more . it's not just that it's hardware incompatibility too (ie, dropping VGA or IDE support while failing to provide drivers, they are becoming to hack in silicon while coders suffer their omnipotence).
on the other hand there's no reason why apple or RH startup should not use their custom launcher - it's just that it should not assume to "take over", is all. it should drop in, and do it's thing
the problem is lack of respect for others, lack of planning, and very much: abuse of authority
