If something depends on it then it means that it really needs it. If you do not need that something then feel free to uninstall it.

This is flawed for many reasons.

Example one: someone does not need logind, but removing it would remove their init system.

Example two: someone needs logind, but they do not need binfmt, nspawn, or networkd. Removing any of those would remove the init system, their window manager, most of their desktop environment, and their login manager.
