Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones
because we all know that routers have so much RAM that installing DNS, NTP, mounts, session, log management isn't a problem? something doesn't add up...
I believe @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 's point was that in OpenWRT and others it makes more sense to have smaller daemons instead of systemd because they aren't using the standard ones you'll usually find under Debian and other Linux distros. They take daemons and slim them down to the point they become smaller than systemd at the cost of features that aren't required on routers.
Routers lack storage and RAM both of which are used up by using a heavier init. Most of the time you will see a very basic system start services by putting them in init.d
Mine has 128mb of ram. What on earth are you running on your router than needs that much hardware. I just bought a device from Walmart
