For individual systems, not running an additional daemon and not wasting
space on disk doesn't seem to be that a weak motivation. On my
workstations, I am disabling the syslog daemon since a long time since I
prefer browsing logs through journalctl and its superior abilities for
filtering (grep, date ranges, services).
People can still install the syslog daemon on their choices. On servers,
I prefer syslog-ng to rsyslog and I configure it to use journald as its
source for local logs as it gives me access to structured logs and more
information.
On non-Linux systems, a arch-specific package could just pull back
rsyslog.
