Nothing. Systemd is a suite of software that handle a lot of the low-level operations on Linux (In particular, the service manager, some network configuration, along with some other stuff). Historically, those operations were handled by different services (like SysvInit).
A lot of people are mad about it for a lot of reasons, but if you're not a system administrator, it's probably better to stick with systemd, since it's what most of the linux community has standardized on, and thus it's much easier to find information online about using those systems.

I understand some of the complaints with it getting into name resolution and other things, but having had to decipher vendors init scripts it's a huge improvement for managing services. When you add in things like Podman and it's use of systemd it's overall not a bad thing at all.
