There are plenty of unix tools for filtering files based on all manner of things. That's the unix way of doing things, and for many users the ability to mix and match unrelated tools is where a lot of the value of linux-like systems comes from.

I don’t find grepping text logs for a service file name with many false positives better in any way than just filtering on an actual column of a quasi-db.

Also, you can pipe the output of journalctl to do whatever you want with it with those unix tools.
