I recommend going to Ageless Linux’s site and reading up on their take on the whole issue. They clearly illustrate how poorly thought out the California law is.
The systemd dude, ever so flexible as long as the request does not come from actual users, is already working on adding this into core components, though.
Good luck building a distro that play nice with your fork, then. Systemd is embedded deep in most distro, replacing it without breaking things is not an easy task.
Damn. It’s only being talked about and people have already folded.
It’s only a date field. Then it’ll only be an API for other service integration. Then it’ll only be an optional plug into a remote service. Then it’ll only be an optional, but strongly recommended, dependency in other software. Then it’ll only be a digitally signed third-party value that’s mandatory. Then it’ll only be something most installer won’t proceed without.
We’ve been jumping from slippery slopes to slippery slopes over the past few years. It’s tiring. And the coincidental timing of all this is not helping.

I think this might be the first and only time I’ll ever see Omarchy getting upvotes on this site.

Systemd is open source so it can be forked to have features removed.

That’s what Devuan does.
Slackware hasn’t adopted it (yet?).
Gentoo took the sane approach and gives their users choice of init system.
The systemd mod is not a gateway. It’s just a date field.

Okay. But right now, it’s only a date field.
