> So many services are spinning up random http, grpc servers or littering the filesystem with Unix sockets when dbus is so dang powerful.

Or to rephrase, so many services are not depending on dbus :)

You can't win.

Though if your service is destined for deployment on a systemd system then that's priced in.

A service that runs as pid 1 inside a container would be a different matter.

Seriously if you do not need dbus, don't bother learning it. You will only have it in specific situations and most people don't know it as well as grpc or REST.
