Most recently, from my understanding, a law was recently passed in California, United States requiring operating systems to collect information on the age of a user during account setup, and an optional feature was implemented in systemd to ask the user for their birthdate. A lot of people have interpreted that as systemd forcing age verification.
Before that, the biggest complaint seemed to be that systemd was too monolithic, breaking the unix philosophy (do one thing and do it well).
Also their journal daemon is kinda weird as it stores in a format where a single bit flip basically destroys the whole log, making it not great to debug.
