Well, how much did you pay for systemd, and who did you pay it to?

And as far as how to switch to something usable goes, the last time I
checked sysvinit was still open source.

Are you willing to:
1. Do the work yourself?
or
2. Pay somebody else to do the work for you?

This really comes across as whining because a bunch of volunteers
decided to volunteer their time building things the way they would
prefer to build it, instead of the way you preferred that they build
it.

If you don't like the options out there, then make your own.

If you don't think the guides on how to install Gentoo on a Pi are
good enough, then play around with it until you figure it out, and
then post an article on the Wiki.

Look around Gentoo, or Arch, or Debian.  Everything you see is the
result of somebody sacrificing their time to create something and make
it free for everybody.  If something seems to be missing, it is
because somebody didn't sacrifice their time to create it.  If you
care strongly about something, then at some point you need to get your
hands dirty and create the future you want to see.

Complaining on a mailing list isn't going to motivate somebody to help you.
