See the section on time-sync.target in the systemd.special(7) man page to
synchronize your expectation with the respective specification. ;)

Enable chrony-wait.target if you run a system that has no RTC, but is
guaranteed to have internet access on boot.

Enabling that by default would break e.g. laptops that do have an RTC, but need
to be able to boot without network access, e.g. because WiFi can only be
connected after the user has logged in.
