this new anti-systemd sentiment reminds me of anti-TPM and anti-SecureBoot sentiment

having TPMs and SecureBoot on Linux machines has only ever empowered device owners to ensure that the software on their devices has not been tampered with

there's never been a case where these technologies were used against Linux device owners

likewise, I predict that Linux device owners may find the age field useful for certain opt-in parental controls, but we'll otherwise look back on this and shrug at the extreme paranoia
