Per-session daemons may be nice for stuff that does not require
exclusive access, to manage hardware they're a disaster. I don't want to
log in at midnight so my GUI recording software is authorised to access
the tuner card, wireless link should not go down at user logout, power
management should happen even on a mostly headless system, etc

The "modern" Linux desktop seems limited to a single-user laptop in
brick mode when one logs out. Per-sessions daemons are not simple
they're dumb.
