You're talking about a chicken/egg problem where nobody else sees it,
and your statements didn't match with what I know about the internals so
either the statements or your understanding are incomplete.
It just feels wrong to make
Appenders or whatever logging framework specific code to do that sort
of initialization.
Sure, appenders shouldn't be doing anything beyond appending log
messages to whatever output media they are writing to.
How do you configure your logging framework? We have code that presets
System.properties (since sadly system.properties is the universal
config) before the logging framework. Do you just hard code it and
rely on some external mechanism for collecting logs?
Usually I just use logback and configure it.
Unless I'm inside a container, where the container has a preinstalled
and (hopefully) preconfigured logging backend.

With SLF4J, you do not need multiple backends.
I'd be pretty unsurprised if SLF4J even prevented you from doing that.
Maybe we have a terminology difference?
My definition of "backend" is "any of java.util.logging, log4j, commons
logging, or similar".
