After.local is a bit different than runlevels. It runs only after the system is up and running. It's a convienient way to lauch things that are not part of the boot process, but should start shortly after boot. It's similar in concept to the start up folders that people often use. So why couldn't systemd simply run such a script when it's done everything else required in booting?
So its doing something like CRON does with @reboot. That's what I use to fire off fetchmail in the background when I start the system. -- Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug--push it a little--weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
