> platform-specific commands into a single, consistent interface
Consistent interface that only works on one platform and uses all the platform specific commands imaginable to do things that have no reason to be platform specific. And it doesn't even play well with other parts of that same platform.
>to do things that have no reason to be platform specific.
If you ever try to port systemd code to non-Linux platforms you will see that this is not true. There are lots of things in Linux that have no real analog on other platforms, and it seems strange to fault a project for taking advantage of those. (BSD is the same way when you get into that too)
