Getting rid of non-core Systemd components is easier said than done on most
distros. 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.
