I agree that if the core developers appear uninterested in any problems but their own, then that is a cause for concern.

On the other hand, looking up binaries in $PATH has a well-known solution. Just run

    /usr/bin/env some-binary some-arguments

and /usr/bin/env does the path lookup. i.e. it is a feature that is trivially added after-market. If lots of distros start doing this, that might help convince systemd upstream to make it a native feature.
