Remember that NSA is openly interested in systemd and how it works. It's a double edged sword. They wanted to be sure that it's hardened as they like it, and note any "useful features" that might come handy later.

The thing is, as computers proliferate and we start to use them in more places, the effects of possible holes moves closer to our homes. From distant infra to near infra; from borderlines to our homes and transportation we use everyday. Even to our pockets via smartphones and other smart devices we host in our homes.
