That is factually not true! Systemd is another example of Linux taking classical UNIX tools and making big fuss out of it and poorly re-implementing it. I would suggest you check
(Service Management Facility) on Solaris which is functional since 2005 and SRC (System Resource Controller) which AIX had since God knows when. Also check SMIT (System Management Interface Tool) on AIX.

The another great achievement of the most popular commercial distribution Red Hat 7.0 LXC is 20 years late reimplementation of Solaris Zones and FreeBSD Jails. Docker is cheap reimplementation of BSD Warden.

Finally the grandest achievement of all in Red Hat 7 is XFS. The only problem that is the classical IRIX files system which I used in mid 90s and which Silicon Graphics ported to Linux 15 years ago.

So 22 years and counting in the development of Linux the community could not come up with a native file system lets alone with something really original.

/proc came out of Plan 9 for the record!

Lets continue to invent hot water
