I'm an older fella who supported BSD systems before transitioning careers, the damn fact that you can't just read a log file by default was enough to get my hairs up. I like using other simple tools to handle parsing for important info or events as well.
I still subscribe to the philosophy as you put it, a system is only as reliable as it's components.. the sum of simple tools worked way better than systemd ever has in my opinion.
As a developer who got into DevOps and now is learning the vast world of sysadmin stuff, it’s validating to see you say that. Because the damn logging system is my number 1 gripe as well and it discourages me from doing any real digging. Why would I when I can just spin up a new VM?
