In general, that may be true, but servers can be highly customized for
their tasks and that may have a bearing on inits and startup
routines. User Desktops, I think, must be by their very use more
generic in startup to cover a multitude of different user
requirements. So, it is possible and, perhaps, even desirable to have
different inits. That's why I posed the question that way.

I don't think it's off-topic. After all, systemd is now, by default,
the official Debian init system. And there are alternative inits in
the repos that work with Debian. And this is the Debian-User list.
So, my query is relevant. But some here are more particular of what
constitutes on or off topic. I'm not one. I consider this list a
general Debian discussion list and not a technical forum as such.
Now, if I were to ask for everyone's favorite gumbo recipe... Now,
that would be off-topic even though those recipes came from Debian
users. ;-)
Thanks for your input.
