Thanks, but I think the bit I'm mising is why can't systemd use
libexec?  (Apart from their declaration that libexec is wrong or not
the de-facto standard they themselves made up, which is not a reason).

Because libexec doesn't exist on most other distributions, and systemd
aims to offer consistent interfaces across distributions.

Shouldn't binaries which are part of the external interface reside in /usr/sbin?

If the paths are not part of the interface, cross-distribution consistency shouldn't matter (as seen with git, for example).
