I believe their retort would be "name one thing systemd does well"

That is a bit like asking "name one thing that coreutils does well" or "name one thing GNU does well".

The joke being "systemd does everything poorly". First heard someone say this about X and Wayland. People were saying Wayland violated Unix philosophy and the speaker said "name one thing X does well" lol.

Systemd might not be perfect but it certainly does every single thing init scripts did better than any init script.
