Steps to Reproduce

I have an elasticsearch running as systemd user service on a target system:

$ systemctl --user status elasticsearch.service
● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch
   Loaded: loaded (/home/elastic/.config/systemd/user/elasticsearch.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2022-11-18 08:50:10 CET; 9min ago
     Docs: https://www.elastic.co
  Process: 1294187 ExecStart=/opt/elasticsearch/current/bin/elasticsearch -d -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 1294265 (java)
...

I defined tasks to check if it is present in the list of enabled systemd services.

- name: Populate service facts
  ansible.builtin.service_facts:

# this one we see
- name: Print service facts
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: ansible_facts.services['NetworkManager.service']

# this one we don't
- name: Print service facts
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: ansible_facts.services['elasticsearch.service']

Expected Results

I expected my user service elasticsearch.service to be included in service_facts
