Well that's why it's modular. Let's examine the biggest systemd cool aid drinkers, Red Hat. Fedora 31 comes with NetworkManager and no systemd-networkd by default. It doesn't come with systemd-boot. You have to manually install systemd-nspawn. All of this is true on RHEL/CentOS too. With systemd being able to do a lot, doesn't mean it actually does a lot in practice - not yet at least.
On Debian, systemd similarily basically only takes care of service and timer management (and cron is still available on all systems). I guess it does NTP too, I don't really spend much time thinking about my NTP client.
Yes, systemd is a brand. But just like you don't have to eat every burger at McDonald's, you can choose what works for you.
