GNU/Linux is maybe about "freedom of choice" but GNU/Linux
distributions have never been. You see the difference?
Distribution are integrators that sometimes have to take decisions to
ensure stability, reduce complexity and/or reduce exponential test case
scenarios.
If you want more scenarios to be supported, a distribution needs
testing, patches and manpower, if nobody is doing the job, well
nothing happens.

As long as the upstream Linux kernel is not checking whether the PID 1
is a particular process, you have all the freedom you want to
fork/create a distribution. And even if it was the case, the code would
still be free to read and modify.
