To be fair, I don’t think systemd is classified as just an init system anymore. It’s a software suite that just “conveniently” happened to have an init system included.
I agree, some of us just want a simple init system that isn’t millions of lines of code and to be able to pick our own parts to use in a UNIXY fashion - If it ain’t broke why fix it…
For example on my alpine system I have acpid, crond, dhcpcd, openntpd, seatd, udev, wpa_supplicant as services that systemd would replace.
