Re: But why?

You ask why and then answer your own question. How? In this one (part of a) sentence:

"systemd but fully recovered with Devuan"

There is no reason at all that your average PC user, someone whose PC knowledge and experience goes as far as office, a browser and such, should have to know what these things are. They should not have to know how they work - the difference between them. Let alone how to configure and switch between them.

That is even before you get past the level of technical knowledge needed to read about them and how to configure them.

This is all part of the reason that Linux in it's present form simply isn't ready for mass adoption. People that don't know what they are doing. It's not for no reason that pretty much everyone here who has relatives running Linux keeps a good eye on them and is ready to sort out issues.
