You might like that, but it makes life hell for developers who write and package any kind of daemon/service.

I keep seeing this, and i keep wondering why said developers are doing any packaging at all.

A binary and clear instructions on how it is launched from a command line should suffice for any competent admin.

He should then be able to fit it into the boot scheme of whatever system he is maintaining.

Absolutely not, only if they depend on systemd. If they follow UNIX conventions, they don't need to edit a single file. Writing a daemon init script was a solved problem decades ago, and that script will serve for every init system.

Nope. Some systemd distros do not support daemon init scripts done the old way.
