Not nearly enough engineers care about MacOS at the same emotional level as Linux. People who use Mac usually don't care much about internal architecture but their actual experience while Linux users who are also developers are extremely vocal of every single component inside Linux
Or it could be that MacOS doesn't run on servers, where Things Just Have To Work. MacOS has the luxury of always having a ready pair of hands right there to fiddle with things. The people who care about systemd one way or the other are the people who care for servers.
Look upthread at the 'nohup and logout' "bug". That's not something you're going to encounter on MacOS, because it's not something you do on MacOS.
I think it's more that MacOS is run on end user machines where the defaults are just fine. As long as you don't have to fiddle with it launchd generally stays out of the way. If you start trying to get fancy you quickly find yourself in plist hell and brick walls of "Apple doesn't think this is a valid use case, so it is impossible".
