1. Supporting it is not the same as mandating it (which it effectively has)

2. You're saying that Debian made this choice because of a choice by GNOME. But - was GNOME strong-armed by commercial interests?

3. AFAIK, The dependence of GNOME on systemd was broken quite easily (IIANM mostly by using a forked elogind).

Gnome was at the time defacto controlled by redhat.

Regardless of now, at the time, there was no alternative such as elogind.
