Technically it's not a huge problem; politically, bundling unrelated software together means that the bundled software has an advantage and a tendency to get more market share than its competitors who compete fairly. In the case of open source distros, I'm sure that this isn't illegal, but it seems like it isn't in the interests of the community.

So, bundling it with the systemd package doesn't harm anybody, because you'd have to install another package anyway to change the default.
