In contrast to SSH it is very unlikely that dovecot will run on non-server systems. However on server systems on-demand spawning of services is much less desirable. Socket activation doesn't matter to server software like IMAP servers really, and and neither does on-demand generation on SSL certificates. If you run a server then you want to have the daemons run right on bootup, and generate the SSL before that. Or in other words, dovecot is not the primary focus of systemd. It can't hurt to support socket-activation in it too (for example to allow restarting of it without losing a single connection), and it cannot hurt shipping native systemd unit files for it either, but really, it's not the first priority for now.
