WTF. What's the best option for an actual free operating system these days? I should be able to tell each app any birthday I want.

A reminder that there are still valid escape options for us systemd haters. Probably the best if you're not a heavy desktop environment user is Alpine. I ran Devuan for a couple years with only minor issues. And there's always Gentoo. I find it very comforting that I can control the init system just by editing shell scripts.

It’s still up to the distro, so I think this is fine. This gives distros an easy way to comply and lets other distros nope out of it.
