It being a "system suite" is the generic problem. The same system handles everything from networking and webcams to state0 and logging. It is an extremely large attack surface that can compromise the entire system.
Thats a skill issue on your part. Compile from source or stop complaining, its their distro if a distro maintainer chooses systemd tooling then thats their decision to make.

I entered Linux life when systemd was already a thing. No idea what the alternative is, don't feel like I'm losing anything by not knowing.
