What mystifies me is why you can't see that launchd is capable of

Possibly because every time anyone asks about dependencies and
ordering,
they're told that launchd absolutely will not provide any way to do
this,
and applications which want it are broken and not important.
I don't believe any of us ever said that they were unimportant.
Broken, yes, unimportant no. If anybody suggested the latter, I'm sorry.
On the matter of dependencies and ordering, let's be fair here.
launchd DOES provide a mechanism for such scenarios. Yes, it is
different than the old-school Unix rc.d/StartupItem view of the
universe, and yes, one can't just switch to launchd from the old way
without some small amount of code changes, but it does support
dependancies and ordering.
