You are technically right.
My view is that there is an attitude/approach spillover from systemd crowd into other teams. Switching port 22 from sshd to systemd was not something that any sane person could come up with. It's a stream of incredibly hostile decisions from systemd upstream that allowed that kind of thinking.
Or maybe the people who think it's a good idea have a different perspective and value system to you?
Labelling a technical decision that was made about a system design (that a lot of people agree with) as "not sane" makes you look like a fundamentalist.
I would like to talk to a sane person who
* decided to covertly move port 22 from sshd to systemd while actively masking the change so that `ps ax` shows "sshd" in the process title
* decided to not mention this fact in sshd_config while leaving the Port configuration clause in place
Yeah, call me a fundamentalist, I would like to talk to a sane person like that.
Good luck using software you don't like, I guess. Each to their own.
