I disagree with systemd being designed purely for servers. We got systemd --user and session awareness which eliminated all kind of hacks of running daemons (eg. a sync app, sound) as a non system user.

...Hacks that worked around security features that were in place because Linux is, and always will be, a high-security server-first OS, with the desktop as an afterthought.

Agreed - having user services is such a nice tool to have

Makes sense as systemd took several ideas from MacOS launchd
