Anything can fork&exec what is given..

The problem is that this init systems are not shell aware.
yes they can fork and exec a shell script, but does the service files
or daemon files are shell based?
No they are not, they are in a intermediate language that for example
in systemd, is not even Turing Feature complete( I am speaking about
the unit files language )..

I don't know much about systemd, or s6 to be honest, only a bit..
But the s6 creator told in the devuan conference that s6 is not shell
aware, and I believe he told, there is not simple way to turn it shell
aware..
The question was put by KatolaZ, at the last Devuan conference..
If you have a chance look at the video of the devuan conference..
The s6 creator was there invited..
