Why would you do that?

user at .service automatically pulls in user-runtime-dir at .service which
is responsible for creating that dir with right perms.

is 504 a system user? or a regular user?

systemd generally assumes the boundary between system and regular
users is between 999 and 1000.

But user at .service is really just for regular users, not system users,
hence my question.
