I find everything so complicated with systemd.
SysV was just intuitive for me and my knowledge. There was just one directory with all the startup scripts in it. And they were run in their alphanumerical ordner. Just that simple. If I wanted to change the order in which the scripts started, I just had to rename the file. You don't want a script to run at all? Just remove it.
I assume, systemd has many advantages for a knowledged user. But for me, it still is just a hassle.
I haven't had to debug a bash script since systemd became a thing, so I have a vastly different experience from you.
Never really, because they don't contain logic. You craft a command line and stuff works.
The problem with sysv was that almost all of the logic lived in the scripts. They all worked slightly different and all the duplication introduced bugs. Systemd has APIs that take over all the duplicated stuff and implement it once. Bugs have to get fixed once only.
