It was not the intent of the minimal platform install project to have a non-
functioning network. It used to work, so this would be a regression.

"this used to work" define this. There hasn't been a "minimal"
install
option for a very long time, and since it has come back, when not doing
an network install, the above result has always been the result, so this
isn't a "regression". You asked for minimal, you got minimal. Have fun
with it.
