Not sure what a "standard" is, but yeah, systemd defines a non-trivial
part of the APIs of general purpose Linux distributions.

It's a stack of software. The lower layers dictate how the upper layers
interact with the lower layers, not the other way around. Yes, systemd
has bugs, but here we are not at fault, we document our interfaces,
but Docker knowingly goes its own way, and there's little I can do
about it.
