No, it's not fine. But I agree with the last sentence.

How it can affect compatibility issues with games?
Why you want to switch from systemd? I hate how complex it is, this age verification and that they're trying make make Linux more Windows like, but in that bad way (it's created by people who prefer Windows over Linux so yeah). But if your installation is working and don't have troubles then don't switch.
Switching to "alteratives" shouldn't affect gaming compatibility at all, cause you don't need any daemons to play your games (maybe if you want to host server or use vpn for multiplayer). Remember that systemd is not init system, but software suite which provide init system also. I think that systemd might use more resources than other solutions. Some software can rely on systemd, but when are you installing program from your system repositories it will work cause it's prepared to work if you're using solid Linux distro. I had situation on MX Linux that I downloaded Mullvad VPN from Mullvad's Debian repositories and it wasn't working, because of no systemd. Then I discovered that MX Linux have Mullvad VPN in own repositories and it worked. On every non-systemd Linux distro you can install elogind which is usually preinstalled and it also care about compatibility layer.
If we speak just about other init systems try what you like. My favourite is runit, but the most popular alternatives are OpenRC (this is what I usually using, even right now on laptop and PC) and sysvinit. sysvinit was terrible experience for me on Devuan, on MX Linux okay; OpenRC is just okay, but I have few reasons to hate it.
Systemd is used by the most of people so if something will screw up more people can help you and there's more tutorials on internet, also sometimes you need to tinker more on other init systems from my experience as systemd is more handholding. But using different init system will give important experience and learn you more how your system works.
If you're looking for non-systemd distros check MX Linux which is the really good system, also for not advanced users who just want to run their games. It's using sysvinit and you have GUI tools to control daemons.
It's not about switching your mind, but mine. If you have any arguments PLEASE share with them.
Where are these packages?
So if they see closed source source as something not cool why they allow to close their source code?
Of course, strong copyleft licenses sometimes can hindering development for example GPL and CDDL license conflict don't allow adding ZFS support to Linux Kernel. But it will not help with development when corpos are more taking than giving to project. Just look where's Linux and where's BSD - you can see how GPL hinder that development.
And why they see GPL license unacceptable in commercial use? For me unacceptable is to close source code, no matter if it's for commercial use or not. For me open source is alternative for that shitty closed source commercial software. If I'll try to make my own open-source commercial product based on BSD license it would be impossible. Competitor with more money for marketing will just take and close my source code, add few improvements then sell it as own product. Why I would like to risk that?
I had problems with virtualization in Android Studio (I don't plan to use it anymore as it's spyware) on Void Linux, but I love runit.
