Have you ever heard of Containers? They use these VM snapshots all over in modern IT. Each container is running on a host running systemd and one of Xen, Docker, KVM, etc. And the Containers can all start off the same image with the exception of a few volatile filesystems. Companies such as CapitalOne and Abbot Laboratories use this all the time. They do this to cut energy usage and bring the TCO down. This is why systemd was invented. It is NOT about Politics and Control. There is a practical reason for it.
