I think that's the key reason.
Linus is concerned with the kernel - and while I suspect he has personal preferences about what is
run on top of that, he's "detached" enough to take the attitude that what people want to
run is up to them. Now, if people start demanding "broken" features go into the kernel to
support their projects - then he's interested.
linux is distinct from whatever may be in userspace in a particular use-case.
For most systemd is irrelevant ... huge numbers of smartphones and pads are
android/linux, huge numbers of embedded devices use linux with or without X and
with their own userspace probably GNU based and often with boot and reliability
requirements very different to anything systemd offers, most supercomputers now
use linux with there own userspace and systemd is utterly useless there.
Many corporate desktops that use linux are probably redhat or fedora with
systemd/linux and the common personal distributions have switched (but seriously
desktops are a very small part of the linux world!)
I guess the debian push will result in an increase in the proportion of servers
and virtual machines running systemd/linux rather than GNU/linux, but devuan
will help keep the options open.
