it assumes you have an algorithm for picking things when you don't. for most applications that it gets applied to, this isn't an issue as an algorithm can easily be constructed. but in the wild world of math, it seems like a cavalier proposition.

consider computable numbers. they form an almost-nowhere-dense subset of all numbers, even though they are the only numbers we really use. in a similar way, i can imagine the axiom of choice is only valid for an almost-nowhere-dense set of mathematics. it just turns out that set is what we primarily discuss in math.

or at least that's my uneducated take on it
