Because monit is not systemd.  monit - is only an utility for
proactive monitoring, not yet another init-replacement.

So, lets start services first, then start monitoring.  Do
we want to play races with sysvinit?  No.  Now can you see the point?

The above use case is just a simplest example of such
integration.  It's sysvinit responsibility to start/stop monit
as appropriate.
