Why use something other than SystemD? (piefed.world)

I'll admit I have used Artix, Peppermint OS (Devuan), and Void Linux because I thought the idea of a SystemDless distro sounded cool. It wasn't because I had a problem with SystemD. It's more so that I love that numerous options exist for different system components. For me it's sad to see that certain features or applications require SystemD be present. I like SystemD, just to be clear. I also like the freedom to choose. Maybe, i'm missing something. What do y'all think? What do you use and why? If you use OpenRC or something, why? I'm guessing most people use SystemD and don't give it any thought which is fair.

I suppose this should be solved now, but when I tried it, it used to hang at random with the "waiting for xyz service to finish" messages at boot time or when powering off. So I got fed and said yuck, went back to ol' good OpenRC and never ever had even a slight temptation to even look at systemd ever again.
