why do we use systemd?

You have taken well over 100 lines to give a description about how to
get a daemon started with systemd, not to mention the hours you must
have spent reading all the documentation to figure out how to do what
you wanted.

It took you only 2 lines to describe how to do the same thing with
sysvinit.

I don't understand how you can find systemd "much simpler" than
sysvinit.  Where and how is it simpler than sysvinit?  It takes only
about 2% of the effort, if that much, to start a daemon with sysvinit
than it takes to do the same with systemd.

For systemd, you even have to learn a whole new "programming language"
to create configuration files which is useless anywhere else.
Efficiency is negative here.
