I would say it depends on your definition though.
I used to rent 1U plus power and network in a rack on a single rented tile that was part of a rented room in a data center.
The owners of the data center rented out rooms, network, and power, and left the rest to tenants.
I see nothing wrong with such a data center. And they still exist; I know of at least one in the neighbourhood of the place that I moved out of a few months ago.

Open source maintainers at profitable companies: stop asking permission to fix what your employer already depends on.
No paperwork. No programme. No manager’s blessing. Just maintain it on the clock.
My wife sent me this. Excellent. (No idea where it came from)
Error: No such option: --repo-url (Possible options: --repo-branch, --repo-type, --repository-url)

I agree there's scope for tools that run on your system. That scope can be achieved if you make things optional.
I don't agree there's scope in what a developer is or isn't allowed to develop. You're not anyone's boss.
As for opt out, you forget that distributions have a faaaar larger influence on what happens to be installed on your system by default then whatever the upstream developers decide to put out there.

Finished a second read of @scalzi 's 'the shattering peace', and only now do I realise that the colony actually *isn't* locked away in a separate universe forever...

No.
I don't subscribe to the idea that there is anything 'in' or 'out' of scope for anyone. You want to write something, and people want to use it? Great. Do that. We already have a scarcity of maintainers, let's not make it worse.
As long as the not-init-system parts can be disabled (and they can be), I see no problem with systemd providing a whole bunch of extra tools that work well with the rest of the system.

You can run systemd without systemd-resolved. I have done so ~forever.
The idea is that it makes certain things easier (e.g., having different DNS configs for different network interfaces), but the systemd developers know and understand that it isn't a valid thing everywhere.

Choose the 'set debconf priority' option
Remember what the priority is set to currently.
Select 'low'. Congratulations, you're now in expert mode
Choose the 'set users and passwords' option.
You will now see a question whether you want to set a root PW. Choose not to.
Finish the 'set users and passwords' menu item
Go back to the 'set debconf priority' option.
Set the priority back to what it was.
You're not in expert mode anymore.

Sudo is enabled if you choose not to set the root password. This requires you to go into expert mode in the installer though, although you don't have to do the full install that way.
What I do:
Run the installer normally
When prompted to enter the root PW, use the 'back' button until you're in the main menu

the fediverse works best when you don't strive for "growth" or whatever and instead enjoy saying random bullshit with friends on the timeline
Never let anyone try to talk you out of a quick half hour DIY project. Those three hours will be the best six days of your life.
