I used to be a sysadmin. I still hate systemd, and think a lot of who like it are suffering from Stockholm syndrome (joking, maybe :)). It's not that I don't understand it, or use it, because I've been forced to for years. It's that it made everything about my job harder, and abstracts or attempts to abstract everything. As an end user, I get liking it. It's fast, and mostly works. As a person who likes to poke and prod, it's a gross nightmare of inconveniences.
