You're misinformed, actually.
The base guide (LFS proper) focuses on building just a base working system (a
@system, so to speak) capable of booting, connecting to the web, and building
whatever you may want to install upon that. It uses eudev, by the way,
although there is a version based on systemd which, from my understanding,
is considered to be a non-default one.
Dbus, policykit, Xorg, WMs, DEs etc. are all in the BLFS guide
("Beyond LFS"), which
by nature is not a linear guide but more like a collection of recipes from which
to choose and pick.
