I understand how hard it was for the developers to maintain compatibility without systemd but in the end that will ruin any chance for PostmarketOS to become a serious alternative for our phones.
Systemd doesn't care about embedded, flexibility and being efficient.

Why does everybody hate systemd so much ?

There are countless answers to that question online. And basically it boils down to... again, countless answers to that question, too.

Oh systemd cares about them very much, and systemd will be a key component for the stability for postmarketOS with stuff like first-boot, sysusers/tmpfiles and in the end sysupdate (hopefully). That's just part of a very long list which simply wouldn't be possible without systemd.
In the end, if someone cares enough to step up and keeps OpenRC at the same state (and there is some progress, to be noted), we won't interfere with you, but at the current state it's just a big time consumer for many of our developers, and it's not where we would like to spend the time with and rather want to focus on stability and sustainability in general.
