It is, and always was, designed as a --user daemon, just like the name
suggests, not as a session daemon. With the upcoming kdbus work,
systemd --user will be the creator and owner of the user's bus, and
there can and should only be one per user and no per session.

Apps/services are per user, right, not per session. The session runs
in the session cgroup, it is kind of managed by PID1 now. There are
just pieces missing, it's not a "no way" thing.

No doubt, there is a lot of stuff open to solve and which needs quite some work.

Right, it's nothing that works out of the box today, but we will get there.
