Weston does not require systemd, but it does offer optional integration
with logind. It will rely on XDG environment variables if logind is not
running.

Related, Weston depends on dbus by default. Unsurprisingly, the dbus
integration code was added by an individual who is both a core systemd
developer and core kdbus developer. However, it can be disabled at
compile-time.

Like T.J. said, X11 is to X.org just as Wayland is to Weston. Wayland does
not depend on systemd or dbus anymore than HTTP does.
