I was expecting to read why systemd is out of control but the only thing mentioned is this:

> While systemd is a powerful init system, it has grown far beyond its original purpose, adding features like age verification that many feel don't belong in a core OS component.

Is there a better explanation as to why it is out of control?

That's not even factually correct, systemd doesn't verify anybody's age, it just provides a DBus API to store any date the user enters, in case the OS provides some UI on top of it.

That's because it's a slop article and it's only really an advertisement for a particular linux distribution.
