It also is people holding onto the 1970s Unix system architecture and philosophy. Linux is Unix like and systemd is just a better modern system, but others philosophy on systems just won't allow them to support it.

I would not mind systemd, except that logind depends on systemd-init, and DEs are increasingly dependent on logind for various reasons.

For example, more recent versions of upower are just a wrapper around logind. Thus to have a laptop sleep when you close the lib, you need to replace your init process.

Do that in any way sound sane?
