What *ever* made you think that? Of course, if the shoe that interfaces to the login system, the GUI system, PID1 and the user level bus fits, then wear it. I wish it were just systemd. You ever try to disable a faulty car alarm in a 21st century car, without disabling the horn? EVERYTHING goes through the computer: No way to address components separately. Modern stuff works beautifully until either: * Your use case differs from the vendor's * Something breaks. Then all hell breaks loose.
