If the functionality is already in the system then what is stopping more governments requiring it or expanding it.

Because having direct access to your system is something that would be incompatible with the constitution of most civilized countries and would therefore require massive legislative change. If a government is planning to do that, an additional field in systemd won't be the change that tips the scales.

The US government violates its own constitution all the time, that’s really not an impediment

Yeah sure, direct access to my system is unconstitutional. But bombing places for oil and slavery in prisons isn't. Nobody in power cares about your constitution. Be happy that your civilized constitutional country takes care about all these terrorists in the middle east lol.
