System V init had no timeouts at all, so the systemd developers chose ‘a conservative (i.e. overly long) value to not upset things too badly’, though there were still some who were unhappy that there were timeouts. He is in favor of the change: ‘lowering the time-outs by default would make sense to me, but of course, people will be upset’.
