The people promoting change most like do not have a large installed base of their own complex programming to maintain or any staff to retrain.
They likely don't, if they did they would gain the experience to know better. Fortunately, we have CentOS 6 which still has a lot of life left in it.
There are a few good reasons to adopt systemd, but the bad outweigh the good in my opinion.
My opinion is that if a new system is really better, then it should be capable of handling everything the previous standard did transparently. If it can't, then it's not really better. It is just different.
