Because it can group messages by process. So it makes extraction much easier, compared to the usual syslog files that can have interleaved messages.

grouping by process does not solve the problem the OP was having with the multiple messages.

It's pretty trivial to group or split syslog messages by the program name.

If you're going to say that Journald is better than syslog, you really should compare it against a modern syslog implementation (syslog-ng, rsyslog, nxlog, logstash, etc), not the historic syslog daemon. Every distro I know of except openwrt has converted over to a modern syslog daemin, and even openwrt has syslog-ng as an option.
