Well, but none of the binary files in there, AFAIK, are generated by systemd, so I don't understand your issue.
My complaint in this regard isn't about what systemd puts in /var/log/. It's about presence, except for the .xz files, of any binary files. /var/log/ should contain only logs, not useless binary blobs.
Well, they have been there for decades, I think.
Here, look at the standard:
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOGLOGFILESANDDI...
they explicitly mention "lastlog", which is a binary, and wtmp.
and I've always hate lastlog and wtmp for that precise reason. There's really NO reason to have to use special programs (i.e. not cat or more or any other general text tool) to read lastlog and wtmp directly.
See? You still have no reason to complain :-)
