My only wish is that the SL community start a New Linux based on SL 6.9
and erase all the needless junk added to SL 7.5.   Mainly dump the
systemctl crap.   If only expands the number of characters I need to
type to get it done and contributes nothing to operational efficiency -
more bloat ware.

This is in Debian too.

If you want a Debian without SystemD then check out Devuan.
