Reusing existing, proven code is not laziness, it is efficiency. Yes,
they could code their own version, but all the time they spend coding and
testing it will not be spent on the actual project, we all end up with an
inferior product. Also, by adding to the software the uses systemd, or
any other underlying code, the number of users/testers of that code
increases.

You seem to think the Upower devs simply decided to use systemd instead
of doing it themselves. In fact, they were always using code, from either
systemd or pm-utils. The fact that development stopped on pm-utils is
neither the fault of the Upower or systemd people. They were reduced to a
choice of one and you blame them for making the wrong choice?
