But you've got a point here: I'd prefer for systmectl to avoid ellipsization when not on a tty. IIRC, this idea was rejected, because it also is confusing when the output changes significantly depending on how you use it. Maybe it is time to revisit this decision.
Part of what I was trying to say is that the ellipsization is harmful on a tty, too. If the actual unit names are printed without truncation, then the output can be the same whether on a tty or not.
