I don't think that's really a better question, because actually most of
the complex other stuff _does_ happen in other processes. Take a look
at /usr/lib/systemd for a variety of discrete parts.

There are plenty of things which could be improved in systemd, but I
don't see what tilting at entirely imaginary windmills accomplishes.
