The mounting of efivarfs has nothing to do with systemd. efivarfs is provided by the kernel and is intended to be used by the userspace read-write.

Not to mention that it is a hardware issue if clearing efi vars renders a board un-POST-able.

Yes, I know, and that's terrible. But SysV init was flawed by design as it didn't prevent e.g. race conditions between services.

So systemd is not flawed by design?

It is, but it doesn't suffer from some SysV issues.

It brings other issues of its own [1], and it is at odds with the Unix philosophy.
