It has been my suspicion that there has been data abstraction due to complex projects running the core infrastructure of FOSS systems. Projects like systemd and the kernel would require auditors motivated to protect the consumer from harm. It would take teams of people several years just to audit the Linux kernel to find any possible issues that have been “overlooked,” or left unpatched.
MITRE/CVE is largely funded by the same tech oligarchy funding Fedora and the Linux Foundation. They are motivated to help their benefactors increase their profits so the donations to these foundations will stay steady or increase. This is why you see these foundations spending their money on technology that has nothing to do with the projects they fund (i.e. AI in both Mozilla and Linux Foundations).
In short, the idea for different init systems has been discussed and I don’t think people are opposed to it. There just needs to be maintainers with knowledge willing to assist with it via spins so a proof of concept can be reviewed.
