Because it is not involved in the controllers nightmare you have.
systemd does not require "all this nonsense".

Your disagreement does not justify calling the people on the other side
retards.

Your statement about the smallest feature subset could use some
clarification. Should we make sure everything works fine without, say,
CONFIG_UNIX?
And what exactly do you mean by booting? Obviously not booting into a
full desktop environment, because that requires a lot of features.
If on the other hand you are satisfied with booting into a getty with
not many services around, in this sense systemd will boot without
CONFIG_CGROUPS. It's recommended not to do that and nobody actively
tests this setup, but at least systemd will not abort. So it can be used
to check if the kernel boots and to run some tests.
