it was made a dependency of the GNOME DE

Both are funded by RedHat, it's a lot easier to coordinate when you don't have to deal with 20 year old init shitware and neckbearded bikeshedders.

Committee members of major distros who voted against systemd as the default init were accused of various shit, relieved of their positions, and new members who replaced them voted for it.

I don't remember anything like this, source? I know distros voted against maintaining the old init scripts when systemd was already in place, actual maintainers who have to deal with the end result obviously thought different of a few of neckbeards becoming redundant in the ecosystem.
