Thanks for that sentence who manages at the same time, to proves you
don't know what you speak about and to bring a good thing about systemd.

With sysv init scripts, you have a script to launch a daemon. And that's
all (well you can have a config file to go along with it, but it's the
same). Which is a pain in the ass because when the author improves a
tool, some newer options can be added. And so the distro takes the
script with the new options to include it and release it to the end
users. And so, when you had overridden an option, be it in the SHELL
script or in the config file, it's removed and you have to put it again.

When, with systemd, you have different directories which allow you to
deploy the configurations at different places. And that's great, because
you can put your modifications in another place than the default
provided by your distro. So, you have a better control, because you can
override the default without any issue during updates. So there is no
more war between the defaults provided by the author, the defaults
provided by the distro and your choices. Which means, unlike your claim,
a better control, thanks to systemd.
