This is actually a good thing. You might have found it bothersome, but what it was doing was intelligently trying to reason whether a device would cause problems in your machine. It did not make the correct decision, but the infrastructure is there.
I would file a bug on systemd mentioning this behavior. But I like the fact that that my usb wifi card will not screw my system.

The intelligence might save a few minutes every so often, but the failures can cost hours, and at a time when you might urgently need things to work correctly. Predictability is more valuable.
