Since we switched from dhcpcd to NetworkManager, people have been pointing out that they lost link-local address fallback.

https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm ... issues/104
Then the 'fix' mentioned here was added:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm ... issues/418
I guess the issue that this 'fallback' method sets the link-local address whenever it doesn't have a DHCP-provided address rather than being a real fallback only after a DHCP request has failed.
