If the problem is so easy to solve as you describe, i. e. by compiling
software appropriately, it boils down to that Debian would have to have
different versions of packages, compiled with appropriate options, which
are picked from depending on which init system the user decides to use.
It's obvious that the rewards to you of Debian doing this outweigh the
costs to you of Debian doing this, since it's obvious that you place a
high value on the thing you're asking for, and it's not externally
obvious that you'd incur any of the costs associated with making it happen.
It's not entirely clear that the rewards to Debian of the action you
request outweigh the costs of that action to the people whose labour and
funding make Debian happen.
It's a tricky question, with no easy answers.
In any case, simply trying to avoid systemd wouldn't do anything to fix
the problem. It is the developers of systemd and the makers of
distributions who need to wake up and to do something about it, and they
are the ones who appear to steadfastly remain ignorant.
Real people think systemd provides real solutions to real problems that
they have on their real systems. This means that "Here's how to solve
the problems that systemd solved for you *more easily and more
effectively* without using any systemd components" is a more compelling
argument against systemd than suggesting that everyone who supports
systemd is stuevilpid.
