Truthfully, it's because I've become increasingly lazy lately,but I've been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.
You're right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.
Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.
