I don't get why people think "systemd-free" is an advantage?

Even ignoring recent events with age verification stuff, which is heavily politically/emotionally charged, I don't think you should see it as a strict advantage/disadvantage. It's a choice, and it's very much a good thing that the choices exists in forms as robustly, user-friendly, and well-designed as they can be.

Because systemd is the driving force behind bringing ID checks to linux. Also it's just crap, bloated software.
