What's wrong with systemd?
All I hear about it is that it doesn't follow the Unix philosophy of a program should do one thing and do it well. And while it does seem quite large and do a lot of things, out of all the times I have broken my system, systemd has never been to blame.
Edit: deleted duplicate comment.
Wait until people find out about the Linux kernel. It does so many things!
It tries to do everything.
Think of a thing you want to do in Linux and there is a systemd plugin for it. It’s not the unix way
Wait until you learn about the Linux kernel and the plethora of modules and patches
Not everything is a file either. I don't see many complaints about that

General principals are great until you take them to an extreme. There's always cases where you need to do something a bit different
Systemd is broken down into smaller parts. You don't need to use it for everything.
Nothing, but it's new so people hate it. See also: PulseAudio, Pipewire, Wayland.
It is new if you could something that is 10 years old as new
Linux boomers still use ALSA and Slackware. 10 years old is new to them.
I personally do not like that systemd gets more and more integrated with other software. For example Gnome. That makes it harder to use that software on non systemd linux, or other OS.
