You are self-contradicting. Driving systemd "the Red Hat way" would be a political decision. systemd developers specifically don't want to do that at all. They want to make technically good decisions and sometimes that means looking at what other distributions are doing and adopting the good parts. Sometimes, that means coming up with new configuration file formats or locations
in other words:
we are changing things for EVERYBODY so that no one can complain it was changed only for him - technical nonsense
sometimes it feels more developers have contracts with book wirters to give a godd reason to buy the next version of a book because you can throw away all existing ones
there where books written in 1998 which where perfectly until 2006/2007 and mostly 2009, they contained informations which where valid for decades and now things are chnages each month - and this is the right direction?
it is NOT! this has NOTHING to do with the unix paradigms
