Two things:

- virtually everyone installs systemd in parallel, not by installing
  systemd-sysv as this means you don't have an easy way of going
  back to System V Init in case you shoot yourself into the foot;
  you just install the package and point your init to the systemd
  binary

- System V Init is the current default, of course it's installed
  on virtually all systems

Those are the proper stats to be used and you clearly see the trend.

And like your pet project - OpenRC - my pet project - the m68k port -
isn't very popular either:

And I am not complaining that we're not making it a stable release,
simply because it's pointless with a documented user base of 9.
