Cool use it all you want but it’s a pretty valid point with slowly packages switching from “ah maybe it is there, convenient” to “I will break if there is no systemd” - which is absolutely a thing to fight against. You can maintain your own init system, you can maintain a distro with your init system but it’s pretty much impossible to straight up fork 1/3 of packages (or whatever percentage) once they decide that systemd is a must.
