Systemd provides various things that desktop environments want to use. This is not limited to GNOME. I talked to Enlightment and they're going to make more use of various bits (e.g. user session). Similar with KDE. Dismissing it entirely like you're doing and pretending this is about forcing: good luck with that. Just like distributions were forced to use it right? Not merit, just pushed? Try coming up with something concrete. Until that the lack of specifics in your posts tells me enough.
