no, it is actually to make sure we can create users at all ;)
/etc/passwd and friends are readonly (and do atomic backups, so bind
mounting isnt an option), you would have to make the system writable
(impossible with all-snaps) to actually add a user there...
the system user handling you describe is actually just a side effect
(and causes a lot of extra work since we need to maintain a hardcoded
list of system users in the build system)...
