I am not sure who said that systemd was just an init system. While the very first blog post did call it so, it is certainly not described as such now:
Package: systemd
Description-en: system and service manager
"systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1" (from https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)
In any case, Linux is not systemd yet. You still have Arch and Gentoo at least. You will miss out the latest security features, but presumably you would not want to do this anyway.

Arch has used systemd as the default for over six years now (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd), and switching to something else is not officially supported (although technically possible).
