`juju run` supports running commands in either a machine or unit context.
Only if you run within a unit context do you get access to hook tools.
Hooks require a unit context.

"--all" means "all machines", so the command runs in a machine context, for
each machine. You could have multiple units on a machine, so we can't
automatically choose a unit. Even if we could, what would be the use case
for doing that? Different machines will run different applications, which
will each have their own firewall requirements.

Cheers,
Andrew
