The point being, perhaps I'm wrong and openrc does have a broader distribution basis than I'm aware of, but in practice, it seems all of these tend to be used /almost/ exclusively with Gentoo and Gentoo based distributions.

Well, I'm sure there is an openrc list somewhere that might be a better forum for these kinds of discussions, but I suspect that they need to walk before they run. Right now openrc isn't even the stable init system for Gentoo.
I know that their goal was to be completely distro-neutral, and once it stabilizes we might see it happen. It certainly would be very useful - it would standardize a ton of stuff across distros.
