My bad. TIL.

Daemonizing processes has been a thing far before systemd even existed. Solutions similar to this "daemon" project are commonly employed in SysV init scripts. If anything, systemd made those things irrelevant by offering a more simple configuration to daemonize programs.

It looks to me Gentoo doesn't start the other two processes. I don't see how "daemonize" or pkill is relevant here.

With respect, this is a unsound take. The explanation is more simple and it's that Gentoo does not currently handle pipewire cleanup.
