If you don't use the systemd USE flag (and never install anything that
depends on systemd), you will not get systemd installed, but many
packages will install systemd unit files in /urs/lib/systemd/system.
This unit files are little non-executable files which do nothing in
your system, but some people feel really strongly about having
anything in their machines with *systemd* in its path. If you want to
exorcise those unit files, add /usr/lib/systemd/system to
INSTALL_MASK.

It's the exact same situation with OpenRC: those of us who install
systemd don't want nor need the files in /etc/init.d, but they get
installed anyway. If we want to exorcise OpenRC init scripts from our
systems, we need to add /etc/init.d to INSTALL_MASK.

For the record, I now think it's a waste of time trying to stop the
installation of tiny files that basically do nothing, either in
/usr/lib/systemd/system or in /etc/init.d, but you have the option if
you so desire.

Regards.
