You didn't list systemd-logind in the "core" components, implying it's optional, but try setting up a Debian or Fedora system without it. Even Devuan, whose reason for existence is to be a Systemd-free Debian, had to use a fork of systemd-logind rather than just handling sessions the pre-Systemd way, because so many things have been made to depend on it.
