honestly that's such a niche problem to have that i dont think it's worth throwing the baby out with the bathwater. anyways you shouldn't be discovering installed services by logfile presence, it should be something like querying your package manager.
I wouldn't say it's a niche problem. I also miss being able to go to /var/log and see instantly what's going on.
There should be a command like "journalctl --top" that would list all logging services with amount of logs, oldest and latest log times, and last few lines of each, to improve that experience. Maybe there is already a way to do something similar?
