Defaults matter, but he's right to say each distro should be the ones setting the default. Most people aren't compiling systemd themselves, they're using the one compiled by their distro maintainer(s). I don't think this is anything to worry about and he's right to shut out pointless conversation from people who misunderstand the actual situation. Accusations of being paid by Google (or any other entity) is ludicrous and can easily be interpreted as insulting too.
