they would not be pushing it instead of networkmanager. Am I missing something?

systemd has several Red Hat employees working on systemd, I believe, but it's not a solely Red Hat product. And according to their documentation and tickets opened about systemd-networkd, they're focusing on a single network infrastructure, NetworkManager.

It was available as part of the optional channel in RHEL7 but I guess it caused too much confusion in the market or something. It's still kinda new and I guess having that much churn in your network infrastructure is too much for a enterprise-level OS (given that they'd have to backport fixes rather than bump the systemd version).
