Adding network-online.target is not hard, I could do that easily
enough. I would need to change the way the service starts to use a
flag instead of purely relying on firstboot mode though, since I can't
make firstboot run on, well not firstboot if I rely on systemd
firstboot.

Mutating the system is sort of the point? I could just make it a no-op
for Silverblue/Kinoite, but the Workstation WG wanted it universally
applicable, so I did that legwork.

Aside from GNOME and KDE Plasma, nobody has an initial setup
interface. We'd have to do this in Anaconda's initial setup wizard. I
would have to build a dedicated application instead, which would
displease everyone. :)

That was intentional.
