Public bug reported:

The output of `sudo service --status-all` is written neither to stdout,
nor stderr as shown by failing piping of command output, e.g. `sudo
service --status-all 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null` still writes to
terminal. This is unnecessary and prevents easy usage of tools like
`grep`, `less`, etc. and furthermore undocumented.
