To be fair to systemd, systemd-resolved is not an init process. It is its own service that just happens to integrate with systemd and is part of the wider systemd project (with journald, timesyncd, etc.)

to be fair to systemd, it is an init system with a severe case of feature creep to the point that it now includes a DNS resolver that came with vulnerabilities long fixed in the existing ones.

systemd-resolved is a separate package. It is not the init system and not a requirement of the init system.

A separate binary. But not, at least as everyone packages it, a separate package.

Official systemd homepage[1] begs to differ, it says systemd is an init system including many features among which is name resolution:

>systemd (...) provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system. (...) Other parts include a logging daemon, (...), log forwarding, and name resolution.

-edit- Not sure where it is a separate package, just checked debian and arch, the systemd package contains systemd-resolved. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/systemd/filelist https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/systemd/
