Because discussions of all aspects of multiple implementations of an entire operating system is comparable to one single component which used to be simple?

From a ISV view, all the different quirks and incompatibilities with distro specific additions to sysv were hardly simple. It was convoluted and poorly documented. systemd is a huge step up.

Used to be simple? LOL.

SysV scripts were never simple. They are almost always brittle and unreliable pieces of crap. Especially cross-distribution scripts (LSB? Ha!).
