Erwan, maybe you forgot to do disable/enable cycle after adjusting 
"[Install]" section of the unit configuration.

systemctl --user list-dependencies --reverse emacs.service

I have no idea if it is intentional, but emacs.service is not specific 
to graphical sessions. By default (when enabled) it is started even in 
the case of e.g. ssh login. So you may use single emacs daemon instance 
having multiple simultaneous logins. It is stopped on last logout. 
ssh-agent may be started after emacs and it is possible to notify emacs 
where is current agent socket.

Concerning graphical sessions, when you click in a browser on a link to 
download a document that should be opened in LibreOffice, should it 
inherit environment from browser or should it be started with clean 
session environment? What if the browser is running in a highly isolated 
sandbox and there is no LibreOffice in the accessible part of its 
filesystem? So some intermediate instance that can handle requests to 
launch other applications becomes necessary. Of course, new 
possibilities add some complexity.
