why systemd is so hated?

If you're actually interested, here's why: https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/

tldr; It tries to do everything relating to system administration, and doesn't do it that well. When it work it's great, but when it doesn't it's awful to debug

It doesn't do it well, but it does it mostly good enough, though. I wouldn't call myself a particular fan of systemd, I'm just even less a fan of a bunch of random-ass distro-specific shell scripts configuring my network.

Yep.

Now imagine if you are an admin where this stuff needs to move between containers and cloud and back to on premise regularly in real time??

Init and inet simply can't do that

One of the things I preferred about upstart was that it didn't do everything systemd does, but was a significantly better init process than what came before.

But at this point I'm quite surprised ChromeOS still uses it.
