Analogy is there Alfred. It cannot be ignored.

Why did Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre remove many "free software" packages
from its distribution but for reason that they are somehow infringing
on users' rights?

For example free software project could promote Facebook proprietary
network. Such would probably be removed from Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre
where I find that maintainers do take care of users' freedom.

In similar manner systemd is is making users be controlled by systemd
maintainers.
