37 systemd pulseaudio paradox

[Felix Miata]

Can anyone reconcile the following?
# journalctl -b --no-hostname | grep pulse
Mar 06 01:38:45 systemd[577]: pulseaudio.socket - Sound System was skipped because of a failed condition check (ConditionUser=!root).
Mar 06 01:38:45 systemd[577]: pulseaudio.service - Sound Service was skipped because of a failed condition check (ConditionUser=!root).
# systemctl cat pulseaudio.service
No files found for pulseaudio.service.
# systemctl cat pulseaudio.socket
No files found for pulseaudio.socket.
#

How can a condition be checked and fail if there are no such files connected to a
service or socket checked?
