I think Tomás is perfectly aware of that, and quoted that argument from systemd opponents without making it his own. But you raise an interesting point. The people who invoke that argument do not realize that they are already experts, "priests", of the shell scripting language. I think that explains some of the most vocal systemd opposition: systemd aims to get rid of the scoriae of the past, but since it is IMHO somewhat over-engineered, it has a learning curve that is rather steep at the beginning. People who painstakingly learned the specifics of shell scripts and init scripts are afraid that their skill will lose value or become obsolete and they will need to start again.
