Presumably, the »service launcher« isn't supposed to be used with systemd – the idea is to hang on to System V init a little longer by having a method to launch services with (some of) the features that systemd would otherwise offer, like per-service cgroups.

In this context the fact that the demise of a service cannot be detected does not matter since System V init can't do it, either, and the proponents of System V init apparently consider this an overrated feature.
