They are important because of what they did, on their merit. They also selected systemd because it solved problems they had, unlike other candidates.

Do not mistake that with any random Joe gets his opinion voiced.

It's not about being smarter and trusting, it's about doing stuff and having results vs taking a ride for doing nothing.

When I'm getting a free ride, I'm not going to talk down the provider how he should be doing the job differently (not necessarily better; that might be my opinion, but not objective truth). I'm not in his shoes, solving problems he is solving, so my view could be diametrically different than his.
