Its overly complicated for some use cases. Its also annoying that some software depends on it.

Pros: Really useful AIO program that does everything Cons: Really useful AIO program that does everything
Great example:
Systemd makes it very easy to bring up DNS with systemd-resolved, and it bridges a gap from the old resolv.conf file and newer DNS standards n stuff.
But then it also means that any alternative DNS clients have to tell resolvd to go away if they want to run, or often times make a systemd service to autostart with systemd and ensure it works perfectly with every possible systemd setup.
There's nothing inherently wrong with this method of having a centralized AIO thing that handles a a lot of stuff for you, but lots of early Linux people preferred the hardcore KISS principle and found it very beneficial to have everything neatly separated and modular with the service manager's job to only start and stop services.
Overall, systemd has been remarkably (and relatively) stable and beneficial which people thought would be impossible back when it became initially popular.
I already know all the fixes and commands for systemd from years if using it.
Good talk on the subject Benno is very engaging
