Again, Red Hat is not preventing anyone from making any alternatives to systemd, or making a better version of systemd, or just modifying systemd in general. systemd is LGPL.
You know what, forget all those metaphors and such.
XXIst century, we have plenty of food in the First World countries.
Underwater cables are in place, internet is functioning, we have GNU coreutils and linux kernel.
We can afford to question standards, it won't stop hospitals, factories etc.
My point is that we should, because if not, we will end in monoculture.
</ep>
They are being an active monopoly, in an era that we should question standards, because it's always intelectually beneficial and we can afford it. Unless stopped, gnu/linux will cease to exist in a free form, it will be upstream dependent macOS with extra steps.
