I think this was mostly done because the rpm split originally done was
to separate out parts that you need when booting systemd in a
container from those which you do not need there. udev/sd-boot is
useless in a container, hence it was split out, and was turned into a
seperate new rpm, named after one of the most prominent components.

I am not involved in systemd packaging anymore, but I am sure if you
make your case on rhbz Zbigniew or so will consider your case.
