I still want a sane reason and a usecase for that.
Can someone please educate me? :-)

Please note that also qemu does not register itself to systemd.
libvirt does. I think going down this path makes also sense for UML
as libvirt has a UML driver too.
qemu and the UML ELF image are the low level building blocks.
Managers like libvirt should register the virtual machines created by
LXC, UML, qemu, etc.. to systemd.
