I'm not sure if I'm reading the same page as you are.  I could sum up
the response to your objection with two points:

1. systemd works fine with /usr on a separate file system that is not
pre-mounted at boot.

2. Modern linux distributions currently don't work well when /usr is
not pre-mounted at boot, and this has been the case for a while.

Fedora went through a process to try to clean up the mess that Linux
has fallen into, by identifying all the executables in /bin, /sbin,
/etc, /var (etc.) that aren't needed to boot the system, and migrating
them into /usr.

This migration was put into place for reasons unrelated to systemd.
Perhaps you have a valid complaint about this change, but don't lump
it together with your issue with systemd.
