It was controversial because was literally shoved down anyone throat regardless of the actual usecase (as it happened with pulseaudio, picrel he's me thinking about lennart when pulseaudio was rolled out and replaced alsa). Also all big DEs build hard dependencies on it giving a literal gigantic fuck you to all non-linux unix systems, which required a lot of effort from the community to dissect the parts of it strictly needed (elogin, libsystemd) for running those enviroments and subsystems that were initially shipped monolithically with lennart shit. Also it's fucking bloated, most of the OSes out there onky need an init system for initing shit, nothing more and nothing less.
