Interesting, if I don't run that as root - I don't see anything like that. Sure, why would I if it's not being monitored/logged by a PID I 'own'. I ran: "sudo journalctl --this-boot | grep -i rtkit" and none of the entries say anything like "0 processes of 0 users", all of mine have non-zero #s associated with them and maybe 6 per info dump. I'm wondering if this is a case of 'a server does X ; a desktop does Y'. Is your use-case a desktop or headless server? Again, not arguing against this being annoying - but it seems like you only see it if you're looking for it. I plan to see if there's _any_ config option for it but I want to be sure I understand the symptoms.
