There is no more threat or blackmail than there is any conspiracy. GNOME depends on systemd because, tadaaaa, systemd provides useful features that GNOME don't want to have to reinvent. It's not their job to accommodate everyone's personal whims. The same goes for Debian: they adopted systemd because it's useful and because among other benefits it brought them better compatibility with Red Hat. If you want GNOME but don't want to install its dependencies because reasons, you have three options:
1 - fork it and modify it (e.g. reimplement session management and other features provided by systemd); or
2 - pay someone to do it for you; or
3 - stop whining.
