I completely disagree. "who" is a standard POSIX utility:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/who.html
So, in addition to prevent the use in an interactive shell (without
any workaround), you are also likely to break existing scripts.
This is a major regression for users of this utility; the current
workaround is to stick to systemd 256.5-1.
who is a very minor (and relatively little used) part of the coreutils
package. Furthermore, it's systemd that broke the standard posix utility
and the interface that's been in use for literally decades, not who. If
you'd like to reassign to systemd at a higher priority, go for it.
