systemd does that too. The problem is that the default wait time is insanely long (I think it is something like 5 minutes). My biggest complaint with systemd is the same as my biggest complaint with tmux: many of the defualt configurations are very strange.

Yeah, default configuration of systemd-logind is to prevent network access. This means if you use e.g. NIS authentication weird things happen.
Weird as in 3 minutes after someone SSHd into my workstation, X11 restarted. Until I tracked it down to a default systemd configuration I thought I was going insane.
Beyond the default configuration, which is somewhat defensible as NIS is probably not a typical case, it really bothers me that if someone else's login process has issues, everybody's logins get killed.
