The difference is that you can use ls to find out, the same ls that you use when working with everything else, rather than needing to know some journald-specific thing that will only ever work for journald and will no doubt change again in another 5 years.

If someone switched my car for an excavation machine when the car was working fine I'd definitely complain.
