I think this came up multiple times and the community is fairly split on that topic. Some really want it and some really don't. I understand both sides arguments. :)

What is the downside of it though, like the arguments against it?
Do people complain that then some maps will only see play rarely?
Maybe give private server the option to turn it on and see if its getting used there?
Basically, yes. Certain maps will be played less which feels for some like they have acess to less of the game. BF1 now has 29 CQ maps. To play all of that you would need about 15h. When the maps don't come in regular cycles, you probably see some maps only every 25h of playtime. Furthermore a lot people like to join via server browser on specific maps. They remember the map rotation and search for a map before the one they like and join that server. This wouldn't be possible with map voting anymore either.
I think the biggest issue though is that not everyone likes the same map,but there is a majority thinking. So if you like a map the bigger part of the community dislikes, you are in a bad spot. Especially if you really don't like the map that most people like. In BF1 the most popular map was Amiens, closely followed by (I forgot) and Fort Vaux. That's 2 infantry focused maps. If you like all out war in BF1. The likelyhood of getting that is considerably smaller.
