You might as well ask why RedHat decided on adopting the widely-reviled systemd.

I think you mean "created". Lennart Poettering works at RedHat and presumably created SystemD to solve problems RedHat has.

he created systemd on his own. It was argued about on Fedora's list before being accepted. The discussion wasn't as vitriolic as with debian, but it wasn't automatically accepted.

I thought Lennart created systemd before he joined RedHat ...

He claims he wrote it in his spare time, after being told not to work on it by Red Hat management because Upstart is the future.
