I think that's a simplification of what systemd does and puts too much importance on language which I think is really just an implementation detail here. My understanding of systemd is that it eliminates the explicit dependency expressed in most init systems with an implicit one largely by using file descriptor inheritance.

Make that no dependencies and we'll agree (The standard init stuff just says in which order stuff should (!) be (tried to) run when the system starts in a given runlevel, nothing more. Fragile as hell, but even so vastly better than what came before...).
