As I keep saying, systemd is about DECLARATIVE not procedural management of the system. So long as the state tables, in this case /etc/fstab, DECLARE that the fs should be mounted, the automounter function will keep it mounted. That is the correct and expected behaviour.
What we have here is a paradigm shift....
Indeed. The two paradigms seem to be "Windows" and "UNIX". For whatever reason, the Windows mind-set seems to be seeping into the way we've been doing things for more than 30-years. As we UNIX old-farts leave the theater, will UNIX be assimilated by the "Windows Way"? Maybe Linux will morph into a free Windows distribution?
Huh, no. I have used even driven, non-procedural programming, in MsDOS, by the end of the eighties. Borland had it in Turbo Pascal, and C. Windows itself was event driven when I first met it, although we programmed it with procedures. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
