These aren't part of the init system, they're optional components of the systemd monorepo.

Yes I knew all of these & have used all of these optional components. And they have provided immeasurably better administration than the historical tools that purported to do these jobs before, with far more consistency & clarity about their functioning.

Agreed that there are lots and lots of features. Buts its amazing. Oh you want to make this service secure, with temporary users & limited permissions and limits? Sure of course. Oh you want service restarting? Not perfect I agree but pretty good for me, and avoids some thundering herd problems I've seen other service managers have. There's so many things we could be doing, to make systems better, and a lot of people really are intimidated by & hate the fact that theres a much more competent cohesive system that shows such a lack with the bare bones unchanging unimproving inconsistent low-end insecure dirty past.
