Is applications depending on systemd particularly a bad thing? If we don't want applications to use non-SysVinit features, we might as well keep using SysVinit.

Why should my window manager dictate what programs are allowed to start it?

For the same reason every piece of software 'dictates' its dependencies.

If you don't care about portability at all.. (regardless if it's just within linux or to *BSD).

And like I already mentioned in my previous post.. there are other alternatives around than just SysV-init..
