It is mandatory that Distributions follow the laws, because without it they can't be used in classrooms, libraries, youth centers, or in any other places where kids or other young people can have access to them. That means that, as long as such laws exist, only close source Systems (most likely windows) can be used there if linux is not compliant. Not SystemD is the issue or the problem here, hanging them is like shooting a messanger when he brings bad news.

being a law does not make it just.

I'd love for countries to declare linux illegal. and see how quick tech companies will put an end to this stupid age requirement bullshit

this is true, but as long as the law is active it has power to ruin lives or created huge costs when ignored or even acted against.

It is up to the courts or the legislative to declare laws unjust, until that happened even potential unjust laws are binding.

Or more likely Linux will go back to being irrelevant and Windows will continue to reign supreme.

Sir, can I introduce you to the concept of forbidden knowledge?

I don't understand what you mean in this context
