kernel and systemd do not actually have to be in the buildroot. systemd
is needed only by some packages, I think, and the kernel probably never.
It's like mock or dnf—just because it's used to drive the build, it
doesn't necessarily have to be in the buildroot.
bash and glibc are what Debian would call essential or build-essential.
(I don't think we have a precise definition of that, though.)
