Please do not apply that ExecStop= thing. You really shouldn't block that. Think about people who boot their system with "emergency" on the kernel cmdline, and thus get a PID 1 plus a shell and nothing else, they should be able to start dbus and stop it as they wish...

If at all, use RefuseManualStop=yes on the unit, but I don't like that much either. It's mostly relevant for things like audit where the kernel might stop if the service is shut down.

The best way is to fix the few services that really need dbus unconditionally to be around to add After=dbus.service. And all is good.
