Then I do not agree with your statement that "machinectl shell" is less disability-friendly than su, quite the contrary. Two-letters commands are a scarce resource, there are only 676 of them (assuming you do not want to mix case), and much less of them that look or sound like something. "machinectl shell" is long to type, there is no doubt about, but at that cost, it does not pollute the command namespace: you do not type it by accident, it does not clutter completion. If you need it infrequently, typing all of it is negligible; if you need it frequently, you can use a shell alias to make it shorter: alias mcshell="machinectl shell"; if you need it very very frequently, you can even decide to give it a single letter alias. Entirely your choice. su, on the other hand, is taking a valuable 1/676 of the completion namespace for itself, whether you use it or not, whether you want it or not. If Poettering had used a short command for his new tool, that would have been a valid complaint against it, because anyone can make something they use shorter and more accessible, but once something is in the way, it stays there.
