The D in SystemD stands for Danger, Will Robinson! Defanged exploit code for security holes now out in the wild

It does, which is why you limit the reach of software. You don't need to log with root level rights.

You get sent data by all and sundry, write it to disk.

Why does that need root privs? (ignore for the moment the perfectly good text based logging we used to have)

systemD might make sense in a few (mostly laptop related) cases, but it make serious compromises in terms of clarity and usability IMHO. No need for it on a vaguely stable system.
