Systemd didn't used to be this invasive.

There have been "better init" options for many years, none of which gained much traction. So most of us figured the community as a whole wasn't very bothered. IMO systemd has only achieved "popularity" by using some very underhanded tactics.

Is this a classic Poettering thing?

How'd PulseAudio get stuck in so much stuff? Is this a pattern?

It's not really a "Poettering" thing. More like a "Red Hat" thing. They control (= their employee are mantainers and developers of) most linux core userspace programs/libraries, starting from Udev and Dbus and Upower, they/their developers make the choices that matters in that regard. It's how OSS operates.
