You build simple tools that do one thing, and do that one thing well

You're right, systemd does fail in this.

Does it? If you mean 'all things under the systemd umbrella' then sure, but if you think in terms of systemd (core), systemd-networkd, systemd-homed, etc. isn't it pretty much as 'one thing'(s) as it could reasonably be?

And the umbrella just seems arbitrary - GNU, Mozilla, X11, anything that's a package group, etc. are also failing.
