That's just lazy if your waiting for systemd to report you a failure. It's on you to maintain, ensure it's all operating correctly; including the daemon starting and stopping manually correctly.

Makes sense that on machines I've inherited that such checks are not done.

I've been running Arch continuously without a single complete reinstall for a decade now. I don't think it's fair to claim I wouldn't know how to maintain my systems correctly.

I'm not advertently claiming you cannot. But working with teams and systems where they wear the badge of "I'm a DevOp who can SysAdmin" and try to prove themselves in such as a manner throws myself a sigh.

If your unable to compile your own kernel, you don't pass in my books, it's a rite of passage.

Pulling the PKGBUILD (or similar for other distros) and throwing in a couple of patches before `makepkg`-ing it is the easy part. Of course you could do it manually, but then what's even the point besides bragging rights. Very few people have a reason build a completely custom system LFS style, and those that do will.
