https://mywiki.wooledge.org/DotFiles gives some reasons. Of course it was written before systemd, and therefore doesn't cover all of the recent contortions, revelations, intrigues, scandals and madness. (And it's a wiki, so some parts of the page aren't mine -- draw your own conclusions about each piece of the content.)
