Yeah, I remember that being discussed pretty heavily in the early days of systemd (especially the socket activation model & parallelization) but (IIRC) there were some concerns about how it would integrate with the rest of the linux world which did things a lot differently than Mac OS, especially in the server space where Linux has to be near-universal with nearly any conceivable application running on top of it. That definitely smells to me like a subjective determination and there were people at the time who disagreed with that analysis, so I'm not presenting it as fact, just my recollection of the winning argument(s) at the time.

Edit: Yes, I looked at the original "Rethinking PID 1" post and that seems to be the case[1]
