I think you are mixing up daemon with server here. You can have a client, which is a daemon. ntp implements both, an NTP client and server. systemd-timesyncd only implements a client (running as daemon). chrony, fwiw, is another client (running as daemon). ntpdate is a client (triggered via if-up.d hooks).
