Have you ever considered why it is so much effort to extract this functionality?
systemd can iterate quicker, and work faster and better, because they can share more code between projects.
Code that should have been in the stdlib, provided by the distro, but which no one does. So it ends up in systemd.
You see the issue even in GNU yes, which implements its own version of a buffered output, or in cat, which does the same, but slightly different.
All these things should be in the stdlib, and because they’re not, those projects that can use premade solutions iterate a lot quicker, and can get better, faster.
