It's a plus because Gentoo fully supports the choice of Systemd or OpenRC. It also has minit, dumb-init, sysvinit, cinit in tree for the more adventurous. No one was calling the AUR bloat, the parent comment just mentions that Gentoo has an equivalent project, GURU. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

PID 1 is special. It's the init. Instead of System V init, you can use OpenRC, runit, systemd, s6, or others. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
