LFS seems to be for people who are interested in how things work. The systemd proponents come off as people who would question why you would want to to drive a manual transmission and say of course you should choose an automatic or better yet, a robot; self driving car.
It would be interesting to see how those opinions line up with the uses of AI

I have owned many manual cars, but I'm fine with systemd on all my machines. Being a nerd about one thing doesn't require me to be a nerd about other things.
