Many of the systemd blob's interfaces are volatile and/or undocumented and thus inhibit future incremental improvement of Linux.

What limited interface stability promises exist are explicitly stated to be revokable:

"Note that this is a promise, not an eternal guarantee. These are our intentions, but if in the future there are very good reasons to change or get rid of an interface we have listed above as stable, then we might take the liberty to do so, despite this promise."

Systemd functions also have extremely limited reimplementability and support for non-systemd distros.

Citation needed.

You seem to be asserting that systemd only supports distros that use systemd.
