It's not Activesync as such, though there might be problems with it that I don't know about. The real issue is that device vendors might or might not pay attention to the parameters, and it leaves too much control in the hands of the end user. Witness in particular the iPhone, but also the Android devices.
IMHO, anyone who really cares about their data should probably not allow ActiveSync, and should be looking at either Good or Blackberry.
