Why is it they only compare to sysvinit? Combine the totals of all inits in Debian: runit, openrc, upstart, etc.
Of course less than 5% use sysvinit. Sysvinit hasn't really been used by much in a long, long time.
So basically, the tentacles of systemd have dug so deeply into GNOME Desktop that one essentially requires yet another piece of complex software just to get rid of it? I sincerely hope that that...
The immediate motivation for a reconsideration would appear to be the
proposed addition of elogind, a standalone fork of the systemd-logind
daemon, to Debian. Elogind would provide support for systemd's
D-Bus-based login mechanism — needed to support small projects like the
GNOME desktop — without the need for systemd itself. (…) In short:
merging elogind appears to be complex enough that it would be hard to
justify in the absence of a strong commitment to the support of
non-systemd init systems. (…)

Desktop that one essentially requires yet another piece of
complex software just to get rid of it?
I sincerely hope that that only concerns GNOME Desktop and not
GTK+ in general. Really not looking forward Xfce becoming
systemd-dependent, considering Lennart's opinion that “POSIX and BSD
compatibility only hinder the progress of GNOME/GNU/Linux!”.

AFAIK that’s what MX Linux uses. It’s pretty popular.
I think mx uses openrc, or at least that is what I recalled a few months ago while I was playing with it.

Yep, that's the goal. Make the interdependencies so interlocked, it becomes impossible to extricate it.
