    Have you considered that just “reaping old process IDs” wasn’t enough responsibility for an init daemon on a secure, robust system? That maybe it should be protecting other parts of the system and tracking the liveness of a desired service?

    What is the benefit of specifically doing that in init?

    If I see an argument like this then I can only assume the interlocutor doesn’t do software engineering.

    Its more likely that the user simply has simple needs like running stuff at startup which any init system can do and doesn’t see as much benefits as poster.

    Also who loves systemd-resolved?
