Roughly speaking, it is because it does not follow the Unix philosophy and proposes to do several tasks making the code very complex and therefore more susceptible to bugs.
But systemd is not a single tool, nor a single binary, it's a collection of tools.
I believe their retort would be "name one thing systemd does well"
That is a bit like asking "name one thing that coreutils does well" or "name one thing GNU does well".
The joke being "systemd does everything poorly". First heard someone say this about X and Wayland. People were saying Wayland violated Unix philosophy and the speaker said "name one thing X does well" lol.
Systemd might not be perfect but it certainly does every single thing init scripts did better than any init script.
