If those "scientific skeptics" were not able to come with working alternative in 4 years - what makes you believe they will be able to do it in next 40 years?
There _was_ a working alternative. But then systemd people came and rather than providing an alternative, they created a _replacement_ and put a lot of effort to making sure a systemd-compatible system would be as incompatible with anything else as possible. In the old days when users decided what alternative they prefer, such project couldn't prevail unless its authors changed their approach and made it able to coexist with others. Unfortunately, we now live in era when even in "community" distribution, key decisions are made by a small group of managers.
If they want to help fixing bugs in systemd - they are welcome to do it.
There are well known examples of systemd bugs that were ignored even if patches were submitted, so that in the end, workarounds in other projects had to be created because the systemd maintainers simply refused to fix their own bugs.
