Well said, thank you, I very much agree with your entire post and would
prefer if there was less noise about unrelated topics.

A quick search suggests that it local D-Bus communication is
unencrypted, but it can be set up to communicate with applications on
remote hosts using SSH connections.
I am sure if someone wants to expend the energy to get rid of D-Bus
related software in Devuan, they can set up their own spin of it.
