But they already ship pkexec together with systemd anyway via polkit, why are they again reinventing a wheel they already reinvented?

Unit files are a neat concept I don't want to miss again, but everything else done by Lennart seems to be an inceasingly stupid mistake born from hubris.

Not all distros ship pkexec with polkit. Polkit runs fine without pkexec present. This is kind of a non-suid alternative to pkexec. It's really more similar to a local-only ssh though.
