It’s not a meme, I’ve broken countless headphones that way. Well, maybe not on door handles, but e.g. in a bus there may be a lot of things the cable can catch on, like arm rests

There are monitor arms that can be attached to a desk/table, maybe they can be adapted, or maybe there is a mount that can be mounted like this

But systemd is not a single tool, nor a single binary, it’s a collection of tools.
