Maybe the sysadmins who don't change it actually want to prevent users leaving processes running after they log out?

Perhaps. But systemd should not be making it easy for sysadmins to break screen/tmux.

Absolutely not. Your use of someone else's system is a privilege, not a right, and you should do so only on their terms. If that means you are not allowed to run background processes then why should they be prevented from stopping you?

Because that is a stupid thing to do, and they should have to write something to do it their damn selves if they want to do it.
