So, uh, that sounded like you value updating one file less (and even mixing
user and daemon configs) above having the service actually work?

Not that it's an excuse anyway. Systemd units have EnvironmentFile= for
importing environment variables. Even init.d scripts can use `source` with
the same effect, as can users' own .profile or .foorc scripts... There are
plenty of nice ways to "share environment variables" without using su.

That said, at least try `runuser`...
