This is systemd feature. Looking into its NEWS file, gateway resolving
was added in v218, released 4 years ago, in December 2014.
It was changed to _gateway in v235, released in October 2017.
Ok, I read man nss-myhostname and I do like the hostname and localhost
resolveability feature. I don't like the _gateway part though. Can I
have the former without the latter?

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
