Booting up without SystemD is just starting point. Indeed, one can argue
that that is the trivial case, barely worthy of notice.

The big problem is when what I call consumer/user-only software (^1)
refuses to run, if SystemD is not present. Whilst its easy enough to say
that the user can modify the source code, that assumes that the user is
not only a proficient programmer, but also understands the inner
workings of the code of the program in question, and SystemD, and knows
how to write around the SystemD dependencies. A skill-set that I suspect
few professional programmers have.
