It is split into components. Sure, it all ships in one tarball/blob (as does coreutils, binutils, FreeBSD core, OS X, and others), but that doesn't mean you can't replace just certain bits (as I can with any of those projects listed). Though, yes, journald, systemd (the PID 1 binary), and logind might require more code replacement than just the single binary due to the architecture, that's 3 binaries out of 69 which might be not-as-straightforward and are at the *core* of the project, so that seems reasonable to me.
