The author's focus on sysvinit is unfortunate, as they did have some points.
sysvinit isn't Unix-like at all. The concept of runlevels (which are fundamentally restrictive) and the inittab aren't compatible with its design principles.
Where the init debacle is concerned as a whole, sysvinit is a gigantic red herring, often employed as part of a false dichotomy by systemd proponents. It should not be a focus at all.
