Okay, sure - but that design is stupid.
Exactly.
Journalctl should be able to take the One True Logfile and scan it, rewriting items to be retained and discarding items to be deleted .
All its creator could be bothered to do was to simply enable it to truncate the One True Logfile thus losing potentially important log entries.
It seems to have no inherent concept of important versus less important logs.
Something built into syslog
I cant believe anyone could defend that decision
Turning up the gain on logging to debug with extreme prejudice is one of the most important uses of logs. To be unable to delete the mess left over after so doing without deleting other information that really needs to be retained is simply an indicator of an inexperienced programmer who has never maintained anything more than a smart watch in his entire life.
