Privacy issues
There are a lot of conspiracy theories about systemd being spyware.
- systemd fallbacks to G**gle/Cloudflare DNS Which, obviosuly, don't respect privacy. systemd also use g**gle's ntp server to get the time. Meaning that systemd will phone g**gle if it can't access to the default server.

There's also systemd-boot, systemd-cryptsetup and probably much others than we haven't discovered yet.
Here's a list of what systemd manages:

GNU's not UNIX! so why would it have to follow the UNIX philosophy?
Because it is UNIX like!

systemctl uses its own format (binary btw) to logs the shit, and you have to use journalctl (can't use less/more/cat/whatever) to see what's going on.
At least, there's /var/log. But not all software use that
