What's the reason to provide these systemd services for busybox-syslogd?

In my view, busybox-syslogd can be used as a minimal syslogging service
on a bare minimal system without much else besides busybox itself.
On a system with systemd, systemd-journald is already running, and provides
far better logging services than busybox-syslogd, including kernel logging
and /dev/log redirection.

I don't really see the point in providing systemd .services for busybox-syslogd.

Thanks,
