First of all, you should check your tone and secondly, you are clearly not understanding the situation as you are oversimplifying a complex situation. For example, Xfce works on non-systemd systems with any of these UPower versions, so forcing upower-pm-utils with USE="-systemd" would simply be bogus. If you are looking for a system that decides everything for you, and doesn't give you options what to install, you are propably better off using some binary distribution with smaller set of possibilities.
