Considering the past conflicts on the topic of systemd, it should be
expected that there is a considerable user base that is staying with

Barely noticeable:

This graph only shows that systemd users tend to install popcon package
too. I don't think you can rely on this statistics to argue that
sysvinit is no longer used by users.
No. It shows that, two years ago, over 18,000 machines that were
reporting to the popcon servers had sysvinit-core installed and now less
than a third of that number do. It certainly does not "only show that
systemd users tend to install popcon" - unless those 12,000 machines
have stopped existing or been prevented from submitting data to popcon
for some other reason, one can infer that they are no longer running
sysvinit. You can verify this yourself simply by looking at
<https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=sysvinit-core&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2014-01-01&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1>.
(Whether those machines submitting popcon data are reprentative of the
wider installed based is a different discussion.)
