It's just status quo. How would you feel about introducing having to log things into file after all you needed was stdout? Btw, you still can do that nothing is stopping you, but I don't think each and every service needs to decide (and let user configure) where to put its logs, how to separate them (maybe by errors, maybe by users/domains) and how to rotate them. I'm still not a big fan of systemd but it does make some things easier (but why wouldn't they think for a moment how easy "systemctl restoptart foo" will be to type, tab complete and issue different commands one after another)
