Which is, of course, the primary thing that is wrong with it :-).

Unix/linux grew successfully for years by dividing things into
small independent pieces and making them work on one thing well.

Systemd is now engulfing practically all of linux. A bug in one
piece can make dozens of other things fail, and it is so large
and complex that there *will* be bugs in pieces of it.

This isn't the case.  systemd isn't monolithic.  it is a collection of tools with a shared codebase where most of the tools are optional.  Even Fedora doesn't use many of them yet although adoption of the tools will likely increase over time because they are actually useful which isn't something I can say about philosophical discussions.
