I think the idea of having something more cross-platform is a good one, though there is nothing really about systemd that isn't "open" - it is FOSS. It just prioritizes using linux syscalls where they are useful over implementing things in a way that work on other kernels, which is more of a design choice than anything else. I mean, it is no more wrong to use linux-specific syscalls than for the linux developers to create them in the first place.
After all, it's not as if SysVinit is portable ... hint - it ISN'T. Nobody uses it but linux distros stuck in the past.
