How is it a failure if the DHCP server disappears, perhaps right after
it provided a lease? Well, there is likely some blurb in the RFCs about
what must be done when the lease expired. Defaulting to fail the
interface from NM point of view is certainly undesired behaviour.

A change in the default NetworkManager.conf can switch it off for
default connections leaving the feature there if needed:
