I hope what you say is true and will remain true in a year or five. Because I was happy about Systemd at the beginning (it looks like we have another init, good). Then it turned out it wasn't engineered to be an independent init system and it practically killed any possibility of replacing it with another init should the user want it. The distributors capitulated one by one. The last big one, Debian, didn't give up without a fight and produced Devuan. But because it's not an official Debian variant, if your living depends on it, you will hesitate before you use it for long-term projects. That's the sad consequence of a few design decisions plus a bit of politics.
