Without systemd, the necessary user and group never get created.

@Scimmia is correct. systemd is used for sysusers.d support. Do we have a strong reason not to have systemd installed? It is almost required on archlinux anyway.

Religion reasons, lol. I use OpenRC.

Using OpenRC or other init systems is not generally supported in Arch Linux. As an evidence, OpenRC itself is not included in the official repos. Feel free to fork a systemd-free toxcore in AUR if you strongly wish to, while I will keep the toxcore package in the community depending on systemd.
