Yeah, I never really understood why you'd want to adopt launchd anywhere but macOS. It's pretty clear that launchd was designed for Mac OS X first and foremost, so a number of its semantics just don't really make sense anywhere else. As a toy it would be interesting to have around, but I doubt anyone would want to ship it in an official distribution.

Systemd took much of it's inspiration from launchd... at least I recall seeing this somewhere, but I could be wrong.

Yes, and pulseaudio was also heavily inspired by apple's coreaudio.
