And nobody claimed that... . The claim was that FreeBSD is monolithic in the same way that the systemd project (logind, nspawn etc. ) is monolithic.

Okay, let's click on that. First sentence "It doesn't". What were you trying to argue again?

Are you purposely confusing systemd-init and systemd the project? Because your argument is the same as "GNU does not design or define an OS", which many people would call plain wrong.

And the second sentence says:

  What it requires is a service that
  implements the same set of APIs as
  systemd-logind.
Since GNOME requires either systemd-logind or something that behaves exactly as systemd-logind, how does that not express a transitive dependency on systemd?

So what are you trying to argue again?

No, what I stated I thought was quite clear: an init system does not design nor define an Operating System.

This is orthogonal to the question you present.
