We invoke sethostname() from inside systemd since that is one of the

stuff. On systemd you get the guarantee that the hostname is always
set
up if you run in userspace,
You can't possibly know what kind of (possibly dynamic) hostname
admin might want to assign to his machine. The static hostname
may be as useless as default "(none)" which is set by kernel.
Anyway, logging with default hostname is not a catastrophe.

Why do you set up stuff no one asked you to?
Changing a machine hostname at random times is just asking for trouble.
I just tried it. So far flames don't shoot out of my notebook.
Wow, that's convincing proof.

One question - does systemd run /etc/rc.local script?
If not where do I put my own little things I want to happen at boot up.
