A much closer example would be if you only had one tractor dealer
available, and he decided only to carry one tractor. And that one
tractor had everything in one piece - plow, disc, planter, 19 different
harvesters for different crops (corn, wheat, cotton, turnips, etc.).
And every time you took to the field you had to take all that with you.
BTW - all of them are dependent on each other - and if the corn
harvester fails, you can't plow your fields or plant your wheat.
That is what systemd does.
