From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, that's the problem.
Linux is not a singular thing, it's a collection of a lot of things.
Linux is a kernel. The kernel modules, services, userland, etc. are all modular and can be used independently. Not so with systemd (at least how it's implemented in most distros).
I'm sure there's several modules in the Linux kernel that are necessary to function, and you're also aware that when people broadly refer to Linux, they don't mean the kernel specifically lol
I don't see the problem but I was just saying that it doesn't break the unix philosophy as such. Not that unix philosophy is much of a thing anymore.
