It doesn't *have* to be, just that with systemd, PID 1 is the simplest place to put it since it already dances around with cgroups pretty heavily and IPC to another service to manage cgroups makes that service a Special Snowflake that can't be set up using cgroups (since it would have to answer questions about how to start it before it starts).
