Totally wrong.

If one desires to install an alternative init system on Fedora
it will be impossible.  The distro is locked into systemd
as are many others.  Choice does not exist.

Unless a distro specifically allows allows alternative options
for an init system and other systems, as do Gentoo and LFS,
then it is NOT a free distro in the spirit of FOSS.

Again: most distros are not free and violate FOSS principles.

Why is this so?

Because distro maintainers are wannabe gods and do not
want to work for the people but want to work only to glorify
their self-image.

Anyone can create a distro.  But creating a distro that maintains
freedom and allows choice is a great labor that few desire to
undertake.

The case is closed.
