Politics.
"But politics shouldn't be a factor in software design. We should cooperate to work with the technologically most useful solution and not let personal or ideological differences get in the way."
Bless your heart.

There is some controversy about Systemd and Lennart Poettering, one of the main developers.

Of course, this makes the assumption that the actors are actually cooperating.

#8It sort of makes sense. Systemd has many utilities which can replace stuff from Busybox. And Busybox contains its own init system.

After they repurposed the "debug" kernel flag and made it literally unusable with systemd, Linus banned one of their core devs (Kay Sievers) from contributing to the Linux kernel, and I quote:
"I'm not willing to merge something where the maintainer is known to not care about bugs and regressions and then forces people in other projects to fix their project."
