Clearly you have not used systemd and friends much. It is an ecosystem of daemons that does a lot of things, some of which are guaranteed to surprise you. The specifics of which will vary between releases. I could easily see some random systemd utility binding a non standard port without anyone taking notice.

That would be the distro's problem, not systemd. Any of those utilities are going to be optional, the distro has to consciously enable them and ship them in a package for it to make it to you at all. A lot of commenters seem to misunderstand that systemd is not forcing distros to do anything. All they really do is provide a set of tools for distro maintainers to choose from.
