Systemd needs a C library that provides what glibc does, and one that BEHAVES like glibc, two different requirements.

Those problems can be fixed – either by systemd or by the non-glibc library.

If you think systemd gives a whit about anyone-besides-its-own-developers' needs, I have some land in Florida you might be interested in.

systemd fixed (some) of the issues raised by people trying to port it to musl, so your hate is misdirected.

Almos every hatred directed at systemd is misdirected. Not that it is a perfect piece of software (it isn't) but because it's seldom really justified.

Uhm. No?

systemd can be compiled with musl right now, with only a couple of tweaks.
