Is it actually unpopular or is there just a vocal minority constantly complaining about it while a much larger part of the user base is happily using it?

Mostly just unpopular here from what I've seen in industry as a programmer with lots of sysadmin, ops, and infra engineering experience.

The usual arguments are it is not "Unixy" and then fall back on original designer intent and philosophical attacks, or worse ad hominems against Red Hat or Linus Pottering.

It's unpopular. It has funding. No other project in the space has funding, so it wins by default.

Exactly. This is the measure of the situation. Well put.

Sounds like a backdoor to me.
