Of which 1/3 are shell scripts. (Exercise for the reader to run 'file' on the above files).
What are you trying to say here, Linda, that systemd does use shell scripts? That systemd start up daemons? I think you're missing the point. On a number of accounts. /etc/init.d/{boot,halt}.local are scripts, yes but so? There's nothing in them except comment lines ... UNLESS THE USER CUSTOMIZES And if you want to say that systemd is deficient because the user/sysadmin has arbitrarily customized things, and that systemd will respect this, then I don't think you have a valid argument. You also haven't explained why you ran this on /usr/lib/systemd rather than /etc/systemd. There's a lot in that library that isn't subsequently used or used at all. YaST2-Firstboot.service, for example. Then there's stuff specific to laptops ... I keep saying 'Context is Everything'. All you've done here is throw out that systemd executes things. That's no basis for claiming that "its no better ..." -- The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.
