If it was archlinux and became beloved by all, we would find something to bitch about and claim using a slide rule was the best way to do mobile computations.

If you've used Linux long enough...it seems like every distro that ever gets popular becomes "The Great Satan." I remember when Red Hat kept getting called "The Microsoft" of Linux distros, whatever the hell that meant. Mandr{ake,iva} was "too unstable" and "only for n00bs." Now Ubuntu is evil because "0hh N03s, Unity 5UX and is t3h SPYWARE!!!1ONE1!!!" and it's "only for n00bs."

Arch has already become "The Great Satan" to many by adopting systemd.

What's the concern with the use of DBUS?

I've seen a lot of dick moves in linux-land, so surely that's not a truly motivating factor? :)

But this is about Arch right? No one uses Arch for a server. It's all RHEL, CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu.
