The creator of systemd specifically made the choice created an architecture leveraging the best parts of the Linux kernel.
cgroups? Best parts? Only from the perspective that it provides a feature that you can't get any other way. Not from the perspective that it's a crawling horror, nor, indeed that it's considered any good by any of the kernel developers. :)

I've heard that claim many times. But I'm too far removed from what's going on in kernel space these days. So if they're as bad as people are claiming, what alternatives does the kernel provide that give the same functionality as cgroups?

None. That's why they get used, even if they *are* a crawling horror internally.
