I know there are strong opinions on this, but isn’t systemd part of the core of most Linux desktops nowadays?

All of my Debian out of the box has systemd. On Gentoo it's OpenRC, which I find easier. But! There are some work-around packages that implement some stubs of systemd things because other packages are designed for systemd only world (one such stub is elogind)
