While I'm no more important than the next guy, I'll defend the auto-pager feature of both git and journalctl.  I love it, in fact.  I'm no stranger to very long pipelines and sub-shells but I see nothing but benefit in not having to add "| less" routinely to things that are UI in nature.  These auto-pagers get out of the way immediately if you need a pipeline, so what's the harm?  In fact, you can still "journalctl | less" or the like if you really want to.
