Is it intentional (or just laziness :D) that systemd DBus services
like hostnamed, timedated and friends all exit after a timeout even
while callers that have invoked their methods are still on the bus?

Don't get me wrong, I like services that exit when not in use. But I
sorta imagined 'not in use' as 'no more callers around'.

In Cockpit we work around this by Ping()ing the services we want to
talk to (and get PropertiesChanged from) during our user session.

If this is a bug ... then maybe I'll look into coming up with a patch.
