You are not replying to anything I said. It is not important if and why systemd is used (but if you want, we can argue about that too). Your point was that Gentoo was sold out, and it doesn't provide any other option. You still didn't demonstrate that, Gentoo's main selling point is choice, and it most certainly allows you to choose your init system with first class support for both systemd and openrc (and worse support for other init systems). You didn't demonstrate that they sold out, or is just the option of actually being able to use systemd selling out in your books?
Most linux is open source, right, meaning packages of distros are also opensource. You can edit fedora packaging and build modified versions and get fedora to boot and run with runit, or s6, but to say Fedora allows choice is a lie.
