It just means voting isn't how distribution choose system components.

Forced?  This is open source software.  If distributions wanted to have
alternatives they are free to develop one or continue maintaining things
like ConsoleKit.  They voluntarily choose to use systemd because it was the
best maintained choice

Perhaps you should look up what logind does yourself to understand why it
is required.  It is fairly basic information if you want to engage in a
debate about systemd.
