In a sense, there is a clear market for it ( people want 'authentic' experience ). I can kinda understand it. I want pure linux experience without systemd, but I recognize that in the current ecosystem, it comes at a cost.

So the language harness makes sense to me, but corps are already cracking down on token use ( and such a harness would likely only add to the cost ). The other question is whether the people, who could benefit it would even recognize it as a problem though.

Running Alpine/Gentoo/Devuan isn't that expensive. (I'm assuming the cost is time/effort when I say this; let me know if there's another relevant metric)
