This thread is not about "blindly assuming" anything. Actually, it is
systemd which blindly assumes user wants to always mount device as soon
at it appears.

In case you missed it - it is impossible to achieve with systemd right
now. At least, it is impossible to achieve what the goal of OP was -
attempt to automount device exactly once on system boot and give up if
it was not successful. Which had been semantic of /etc/fstab for quite
some time.
