SysV init scripts are here for ages
They were large, inconsistent, and burdensome to maintain. The people

If you are willing to maintain them, then you can do the work to provide
an alternate init system.
If you're not doing the work, then at some point you have to trust that
the people who are doing the work know better than you do.
We have lot of alternatives in Linux system (several desktop WMs etc)
already, alternative init is in this case (IMO) just small piece of all
system SW.
init is a small piece of code, yes. But it's not just code, it's an
interface. Lots of programs interface with systemd. If you want an
alternative, you have to address all of those dependencies.
To me, your interest in an alternative appears to be evidence that you
lack familiarity with the scope of the work.
Although I understand that there are features which are interesting for
some Linux users, they are not too important to me.
GNU/Linux systems *can* be tailored to individual needs. That's one of
the great things about them. However, no specific distribution can be
all things to all people. If you are interested in a GNU/Linux system
that contains exactly the components you like, maybe try Linux From Scratch.
Seriously. The education that it provides will improve your input and
contributions.
