It's true to some extent.
systemd.exec(5) describes systemd's abilities to run a service in a
separate network/mount namespace, in a different SELinux contenxt,
remove certain capabilities, etc.
There is nothing that cannot be done in sysvinit given sufficient amount
of wrappers embedded in each and every sysvinit script, yet nobody done
that (save SELinux) yet.
On the other hand we have rather ... dismissive (let's call it that)
attitude at systemd's upstream regarding security bug reports. [1] and
[2], to show some examples.
