Not so much controversial as I don't understand what it means. Maybe you could give an example of what that would be?

Systemd is the obvious example, since it is essentially svchost.exe plus tons of other cruft rolled into a blob that started out as an init system.

I don't see it making much of a difference for developer OS experience though? Unless you are specifically developing for example a Linux distribution.

systemd was modeled after launchd in MacOS, rather than Windows. And the need for replacing SysV or BSD style init in Unix land has been acknowledge for a long time (see Solaris, for example).
