I really am starting to see this as an example of the Microsoft-ish philosophy of "tell the users where they must go and let them catch up as they can." It works when the users don't have any other choice. But then, I guess Gentoo is the only distro left that hasn't adopted systemd, or will be doing so shortly. I seriously considered switching to Debian, but no joy.
If you're really that unhappy about such things as systemd, there's nothing to stop you from rolling your own distro. Start with Linux from Scratch (The Wikipedia article still shows it using Sysvinit.) put in what you think an "old-school" linux should have and call it Steampunk Linux to grab a bit of glamour and avoid looking like you're just unwilling to accept progress. (Not that I'm accusing you of that; from what I can see, you just don't consider systemd to *be* progress.) Who knows? It might even be popular.
