So wildly popular I'd never heard of it until your post so i checked Distrowatch and it shows systemd as part of the distribution. So at best its a choice especially as its based on Debian

Which isn't the case.
It's hard to have a Linux distro with no traces of systemd at all. Even where it is not being used as init, and where none of its other feature creep binaries are being used, many third party programs depend on systemd libs to some extent. So you have the likes of elogind providing a systemd shim to keep those programs happy. Or you can just install systemd's libs to keep those programs happy.
I don't use MX LInux but knew it was a non systemd option. I use Artix on my main PC

And then you realized that MX Linux does not use systemd by default, but includes it in a disabled state and uses sysvinit and systemd shims instead. Right?

I would find more for you, but my charitable web searching time is all used up today.
