How it fits BSD?

One init? Like openrc, sysVinit, upstart, runit?

Sorry, I meant one implementation of the process that ran as PID 1. There are many implementations of the rc script part, as you point out.

All Linuxes I'm aware of used sysvinit before systemd. Ironically the attention created by the systemd thing spawned a bunch of new PID 1 implementations, including a compellingly simple one.

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood. Actually, plenty used other init systems, ones that come to mind are ArchLinux and Gentoo, but I know there were others as I remember having a similar conversation with a Linux administrator back about 6 years ago. I profess, though, I know very little about Linux distributions at present.

Personally, I don't mind SystemV Init, because I've used it with Solaris.
