because the service binary spits out that information to stdout instead 
syslog and journald collects stout to not lose any message - otherwise 
you would not be aware of errors from broken apps spit them to stdout 
instead stderror

a sane intended to run as service app (meaning in background) would not 
output messages to stdout - make a bugreport upstream
