Nothing. IMHO.
You could complain that it can require more maintenance, just like
`cond', `let*', and other sequential constructs.
Some people prioritize writing code over reading code. To me this
is misguided, and multi-variable `setq' is a plus, not a minus.
FWIW, for a very long time I avoided multi-variable setq. Dunno
why - probably just maintenance laziness.
Later I learned to appreciate it. I also go to the trouble of
(manually) aligning the values (for readability), something that
I also do now for `let' and `let*'.
