More reliance on something is always bad. If the component dies, becomes closed source, implements telemetry etc it will be harder to replace it.
We should start preparing to jump ship from Linux. There's just too much reliance on it and that's ALWAYS bad.
Systemd is open source. If it goes closed source, nobody would use it anymore and switch to a fork.
Actually there is not much reliance on the mainstream kernel. Forks work just fine.
Hopefully they will make an abstraction layer like you always should.
