Not specifically about systemd, but some things can't be backwards compatible because they might want to just do things different.
Nobody was forced to change, the distros saw the options and decided in favor of systemd, the same they decide a million other things.

Systemd usually can't be in the same *repo* with other init systems/service managers (or with shims and hacks) \*, while they themselves happily coexist. This is the Reason that there are non-systemd distros, not some unreasonable hate for new thing or anything. \* Yes, except Openrc, which was *made* as a drop-in for Systemd.
