The term "object" is used twice. Once is in reference to "file system
objects" which I assume has the usual meaning. The other is in "Units
encapsulate various objects that are relevant for system boot-up and
maintenance".

Sorry, even your attempt to parse this (and it's a valiant effort) yields what, for me, is gobbledygook. And yes, this is one of the things that makes me unhappy with systemd.

*What*, for example, is "the usual meaning" of "file system objects?" A file? Why not just say "file?" And if the documentation really means files or pipes or devices, then why not say "files or pipes or devices?"

This kind of verbiage simply adds an additional layer of abstraction that removes the text ever farther from whatever it's talking about and reduces comprehensibility.
