The difference is that you can use ls to find out, the same ls that you use when working with everything else, rather than needing to know some journald-specific thing that will only ever work for journald and will no doubt change again in another 5 years.

And you can just issue “systemctl” to list every service. Do you blame excavation machines because you can’t drive them when you only know how to drive a car?
