Well the name System D implies a manifest destiny to conquer System V (i.e. UNIX) because D=500 and V=5 in Roman numerals. Why else would they choose the name? Also you should call it GNU/Systemd.

Or you could avoid silly conspiracy theories and think about a lot of different daemons that have "d" at the end, like httpd, crond, etc.

"d" is also a frequently used suffix for daemon processes: inetd, pppd, httpd, etc(-d)
