Sure, but the ones you mention don't benefit me and people like me. I can't imagine why I would even notice them on my personal desktop.

Management of such systems feels a lot like server management in some ways; I wouldn't include them in "[personal] workstation" for this purpose. My point in mentioning "workstation" was simply to give a loose description of a context where systemd simply doesn't buy much, and to point out that there are *other* contexts where what systemd offers matters. I will note that managed desktops seems like a very important application in academia, too -- student computer literacy labs in college. High school too, in fact any compulsory education context. So the applications where the transition to systemd offers few if any benefits seem pretty small (although a lot of Fedora users!) and increasingly circumscribed going forward.
