I think that's pretty unfair to ChromeOS. Scott doesn't even really work on the system initialization part of ChromeOS, he's been working on Bluetooth support for quite a while. I think the reason systemd hasn't been investigated is more likely because the current system works and making system services boot faster hasn't been one of the most pressing problems for the project.

Fast boot is one of the important goals of ChromeOS. Systemd was not investigated because it will needs fine-tuning to work faster then the existing optimized boot and nobody have done the required work.
