A) I was responding to the implication that Linux+Systemd is the combination used in 'basically every commercial production system', which discounted the entire world of a) BSD and b) not-systemd. That wasn't a cron-specific comment on my part.
B) I do control my (professional environment) firewall. OpenBSD+PF is an amazing firewall combo, and the other common firewall, pfsense, uses FreeBSD. Neither use Linux; neither use systemd.
That comment rubs me the wrong way. To mirror the sibling, there's a lot outside the Linux+SystemD world - even your firewall probably doesn't use systemd (or linux for that matter, if you're in a professional environment), and neither does Alpine, that runs docker containers. (And love it or hate it, docker is in a lot of commercial production stuff.)
