Does anyone care? Flatpak is nothing but a cunning device for turning [user laziness] into [profit for storage device manufacturers].
The only "universal package format" worth a dime right now is AppImage, and even that is of thoroughly dubious benefit when build-from-source is (and ever will-be) a thing.

from the mouth of Jorge Castro flathub org member, and the motion has support from reddit users.

if he ain't just bullshitting then anyone whom depends on software only available through flatpaks will have to help maintaining a fork of flatpak that does not depend on systemd and maybe even a repository of builds of flatpaks that do not need systemd, maybe even a fork of the whole of flathub.
