I’m not trying to bait. I’ve been playing with Void for a while, but didn’t get what makes it special. I guess I’m missing something about it.

AFAIK, they’re not switching to systemd in the first place, at least for its base system. PostmarketOS is tho, and I can see why they’d want to facilitate that.
Why? And what was the point about them rejecting XLibre?
Xlibre is an explicitly right-wing projevf developed by alt-right developers. They have been rejected by other distros as well on those grounds in favor of Wayback, a non-right wing alternative.
The systemd units are easier to create and maintain compared to the init scripts. The systemd itself can also be used as a one stop solution for cron, hostname, ntp client, dns resolver, tmpfile manager, even bootloader, and many more.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d use OpenRC where I can, but I totally see why systemd is popular.
As for the XLibre, I’ve never used it myself since I’d be upgrading to Wayland instead. My legacy systems remain on X11. I’ve read it’s quige buggy tho. At the same time, there are a lot of fanatics who are making this a big deal out of proportion.
