Given the controversy surrounding systemd and the way they operate ...
Whatever do you mean?
My suspicion is that systemd is riddled with spooky coders contributing 'bugs' that act conveniently as backdoors for enabling eavesdropping or even covert remote execution. But plausibly deniable of course, (now you can deny it). Is that spelled out clearly enough for you? Contributing compromised code to open source projects is a well-known tactic for compromising security 'enough' to enable spying (spyware) ... so no it is not 'conspiracy theory' lunatic thinking to be wary of these flaws in the way open source software is produced. The fact that systemd was intent on getting into every corner of the linux OS just makes it a convenient vehicle for delivering a range of options for spooks to compromise linux communications security. Who knows what the true motive for systemd getting into every corner of linux really was though? but, but, 'modularity' seems like a fig leaf at this point btw.
