You have to remember unit names. They're all just names.

Not really, there’s systemctl list-units.

Just like `ls`, or even `ls *.log`.

As I've been trying to allude to, 90% of this is familiarity, not some objective "better".

No it's not just like it because not all log files live in /var/log so you have to remember to check several locations.

systemd is centralized.
