But systemd was never just an init system. AFAIK, systemd has always been advertised as a system and service manager for Linux. With that in mind it makes perfect sense that systemd manages what it does. Whether or not such an architecture is desirable is debatable, but the portrayal of systemd as just an init system is a fundamental misunderstanding of what systemd is.
