54% *claim* to have never interacted with an AI. They probably have (at least indirectly), and just don't realize it.
I just learned recently that my employer uses an AI to vet expense reports for errors and potential fraud. I'd give decent odds that similar things are being done across the financial industry, even if it is not explicitly referred to as "AI".

Heck, I implicitly rely on persistence of background processes myself on a semi-regular basis. Doing something that runs counter to this expectation is going to break random stuff, and result in a lot of pissed off sysadmins. This behavior arguably makes sense for desktop distros, but given that Debian is primarily a server distro it should not be the default. Let downstream desktop distros like Ubuntu/Mint/etc. modify the default behavior, if they deem it appropriate (it doesn't even require a code change, it is a config option).
It is also symptomatic of the "all bow down before systemd" mentality, and I have a big problem with that. They may have good intentions, but there are some serious issues with how they're going about implementing their vision.

When they started to be used instead as a way to push a political agenda. ie. An agenda wearing a poll's clothing. This is true often enough that I no longer participate in any polls.
