For example, if the service can only be used when a user is logged in then there's no point in it launching until a user actually tries to use it. At that point they are guaranteed to be logged in. The dependency is built into the fact that the service doesn't launch until actually needed. Launchd may be having a problem launching the service at startup, but a better question may be why is the service configured to launch at startup at all?
