As one never needs to patch and recompile anything from /bin to hack a work around into an init script, It's your proposed comparison which lacks any pragmatic meaning.

I've never needed to recompile systemd either, so what kind of argument is that supposed to be?

In the context of hackability it makes perfect sense; if you never had to recompile then you never did hack systemd. To hack on SysV init you just change a script (and you don't have to recompile bash).

Nobody stops you from rewriting a systemd unit file as a sh/bash script if you hit a deficiency in systemd.
