You're confusing systemd the init manager and systemd the project. systemd as an init system only "replaces" initd, syslog and udev.
All other components under the systemd project are optional and not required, nor is there any push to make them required.

Name two major distros that use 'systemd init system' but doesn't use the other parts.
