The next sentence says, "/bin contains commands that may be used by both
the system administrator and by users, but which are required when no
other filesystems are mounted (e.g. in single user mode)."  systemd
qualifies on both counts: it may be used by users, and it is needed
before other filesystems are mounted.

Messing up the distinction between */bin and */sbin in the name of
cleaner path completion is not progress.

The system does need systemd.  Users also need it (that is, once the
envisioned user session-management capability is added).
