It makes me wonder if the idea of installing anew rather than upgrading
in-place as Debian has historically been known for has begun to take
hold. From that standpoint the original priority makes some sense with
systemd as the default init. Those who planned to upgrade in place
often hope to do so with the least amount of surprise and the current
priority seems to adhere to that from what I have read.
