Systemd is open source so it can be forked to have features removed.
That's what Devuan does.
Slackware hasn't adopted it (yet?).
Gentoo took the sane approach and gives their users choice of init system.
There are also the BSDs
Good luck building a distro that play nice with your fork, then. Systemd is embedded deep in most distro, replacing it without breaking things is not an easy task.
