I'll give you one reason why I finally moved to FreeBSD for my servers: it does not use systemd.
It might sound like a trollish thing to say, but it's true. It's not the only reason of course. FreeBSD really is much nicer on the server. It's much more predicable and easier to analyse problems. The lack of systemd is just one factor that contributes to this.
