because it has to know in what order to umount them
init systems don't need to unmount anything but the boot image sometimes.
You should look up the what sysvinit did. Hint: an init system is not only a startup system.
It just needs to to store information so that the machine can BOOT and then mount all mount pointed listed in fstab
And what exactly do you think is responsible for unmounting at shutdown time?
Look at all this crap in the output now:

I agree. I solved it long ago with an alias in .bashrc that filters out the junk and leaves a result resembling the (useful) output from a decade ago, HD volumes plus nfs and samba shares. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
