This is what it does:

(1) Locates the current unit file, regardless of whether it shipped with a package or is already a custom one in /etc. (2) If there isn't one in /etc, it copies the current one into the correct place. (3) It opens $EDITOR on that file. (4) It runs systemd daemon-reload.

It's really the first two steps that can be annoying because you'd otherwise have to run "systemctl status" to find where it is currently and then copy it over. I guess you could script that, but is it really so terrible to support that in systemctl -- which is just a normal user CLI utility, not anything with advanced privileges or critical impacts on system stability?
