I have no idea where you get these numbers from, or why they should matter.

I do not have this impression at all. systemd devs certainly have been
very open to all the suggestions I have made to make it work better on
Arch.

This does not make sense. udev still works the same on systemd-less
systems and syslog-ng works just fine with (or without) systemd.

I am very happy that you are trying to educate us about OpenRC, but if
you are going to attack systemd please get your facts straight and
refrain from spreading unsubstantiated FUD.
