systemd settings

SUMMARY
Sooner or later KDE users needs to manage systemd units usint systemctl or create a new unit for their own workflow. Right now there is no option in system settings to do that and have to rely on command line solutions to make that happen. Many users have asked the same question and some info is in this url https://askubuntu.com/questions/1030850/is-there-a-gui-tool-for-managing-systemd-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver
In the solutions one is promising which is https://github.com/KDE/systemdgenie 
I have installed in and the screenshot is also provided (kde-config-sysemd)
I hope this is added by default in system settings or else better integrate into Background Services menu which makes sense for the activity.
This package gives a basic ability to deal with systemd services but its out of place with KDE design and if KDE integrates into system settings it could be even better.

If this package is not maintained and cannot be incorporated into KDE then what would be KDE way to solve the issue of managing system units using GUI

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Go to background services menu item
3. Try to manage systemd units

OBSERVED RESULT
No way to manage systemd units

EXPECTED RESULT
Expected to find a way to manage services in background services section or a different section for systemd

Yep, you found it. I think there's no need to install this by default for everyone as it is very esoteric functionality.
