That's because applications install their startup scripts there.
Usually they install scripts for all init systems so that it works
everywhere.  I don't know where we use this but it seems weird that we
need to know which ones to use.  If we still need to know then I would
expect us to rather check either 'type systemctl' or 'mount -t cgroup |
grep name=systemd' or something like that.
