But, my real contextual ask was Why RedHat is blamed for Systemd in Linux Ecosystem...

Sure, a RedHat employee built something that Redhat wanted for their major Linux distribution. Why does the community direct hate at RedHat for it being everywhere? If it is deemed as not good by the community, the distributions are free to develop alternatives...

IIRC, Upstart was briefly used by distros before systemd came on to the scene. It's stay was short though as distros began migrating to systemd.
