> [simple shell scripts lead] you to build in things like monitoring, trending, alerting, quotas, resource limits, and generally design your system better to detect, withstand and prevent fault
Simple shell scripts might lead people in that direction, but in practise, few people actually go in that direction, and those that do don't go all the way. Systemd might not have all of those features, but it has most of them (which is a massive improvement for most services), and it doesn't stop you from adding the rest yourself (which is fine for services who care about going all the way).
