There is no such thing as a non-systemd profile; a sub directory is a specialization, that doesn't mean that it parents suddenly become the opposite of that. No, the parents are just generalizations that aren't as specific as the sub directory. Doing what you've suggested everywhere but in gnome/systemd and kde/systemd is a recipe to upset everyone whom runs systemd on another desktop environment than GNOME or KDE; so, that's not a way forward. Another option is to create no-systemd sub directories; but such profiles will be highly controversial, besides helping the exponential grow of the profiles directories as well as be a non-default profile.
