I'm responsible for system administration and web development at my company. Our system administrators love systemd for its reliability and because it's so easy to write _correct_ service files. Our developers love systemd because we could get rid of complicated daemonization code and because we don't have to do anything anymore to get great logging features.

so who exactly is saying that you shouldn't be able to use systemd if you love it?

I was just replying to "You're are not listening to the admins and users. Most of us don't want systemd." by mpalamara who is pretending to speak for "most admins and users" which I quite frankly doubt.

No one is saying that. The thing is the technology that works better should be used by default. And that is (by ignoring emotional and irrational nonsense and sticking to technical arguments and facts) systemd not sysvinit.
