I've come to grips with it recently, it brings standardization to many things that were lacking across distributions. I just don't like how much power the project holds over the entire linux ecosystem ("oh hey here's systemd-logind don't mind us taking over all-things-login"-type scenarios)

For the record, my largest gripe with systemd is systemd-resolved too (followed closely by binary logs).

That's totally not the case, all the previous solutions were slightly broken (pam_console, ConsoleKit etc.), and unmaintained.

So, uninstall it. It's not a part of systemd (the daemon), and totally optional.
