This is useful for various variables that modify process behaviour. This makes it easy to set it for pid1 without touching the kernel command line. Even for the *user manager* this also can be convenient for the unprivileged user, who cannot modify user@.service definition. Variables that could be set like this include $SD_EVENT_PROFILE_DELAYS, $SYSTEMD_FALLBACK_HOSTNAME, $SYSTEMD_MEMPOOL, $SYSTMED_RDRAND, etc.
