I'm not quite sure what you mean. If where you're going is "well 
*obviously* syslog.socket refers to /dev/log", then ... maybe that's true, 
but that ship has sailed. It simply doesn't, it means what it currently 
means: the socket by which journald sends messages to some other syslog 
daemon (if any).
