If you can learn something in 1 month with 8 hours a day devoted to learning, then someone with 1 hour needs 8 months. So, if a new software comes in 2 years downtime is respective 4% and 33%.
While above is idealized picture, where learning is separated from usage, lost time on handling computer and its software is what irritates people. Even geeks would like to watch a movie, or even help other geeks, instead of learning something new all the time just to have computer running. It makes people tired and prone to look for some not so labor intensive alternative.

I don't oppose focus on systemd, but at the same time I'm not sure how much more frustration I can take.
