> systemd is so much better in every way,

How can I cancel a systemd startup task that blocks the login prompt? / how is forcing me to wait for dhcp on a network interface that isn't even plugged in a better experience?

Your distribution has configured your GDM or Getty to have some dependency on something that ultimately waits on dhcpcd/network-online.target.

It’s not really the fault of systemd; it just enables new possibilities that were previously difficult/impossible and now the usage of said possibilities is surfacing problems.
