"init system freedom" (to borrow the nonsensical Devuan catchphrase), 
much like the other "freedoms" that Linux is supposedly about, applies 
to those who *put together* Linux systems.  As soon as you use the 
system that someone else has put together, you're restricted by the 
choices *they* made.  If you don't like those choices, you're perfectly 
free (and encouraged) to DIY and roll your own reflecting your own 
choices/needs.

Can that be a lot of work?  Absolutely.  But if one's not willing to 
undertake that effort for themselves, one doesn't get to complain about 
someone else not being willing do that work either -- at least if no 
money is changing hands.
