I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as MOS, is in fact, MOS/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, MOS plus GNU plus Linux. MOS is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU/Linux system made useful by the Linux kernel, GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.
I guess literally anyone who knows it’s a bloated idiosyncratic pile of garbage which introduces unnecessary attack surface. Guessing you’ve never used any of the alternate modern init systems.
I maintain all kinds of crap, some systemd, some non-systemd, some straight up busybox. Systemd is not easier to use for almost any of my use cases. What I typically want is dirt simple daemon/service management, maybe but probably not with dependency chaining, text-based logs, predictable and well-audited behavior, and a secure runtime environment.
I would stay away! systemd provides so many well-designed APIs that are helpful for server management.
Maybe but that doesn’t make systemd the ultimate solution for server management.
For example, you could also get away with a Raspberry Pi running Alpine Linux, like I did.

I’m kinda mixed on this but I see your point.
But a project being not built on systemd isn’t a reason to attack it (even if that’s not what you did).
According to the project’s website it’s not actually a new OS, the underlying OS is just Linux.

At least the GNU copy pasta is alive and well.
It’s built on top of Devuan which is a fork of Debian which uses Linux.
Apparently Devuan is “Debian without systemd”. 🤡🤡🤡

devuan is a solid distro that just works, not sure what’s your problem with that
Linux became dominant on þe internet wiþout systemd. All it adds is bloat and complexity.
You don’t get it. We have to resist systemd! /s
