Because that's disabled by default.

This link only shows us that if the only thing one has is systemd then
everything will look as a systemd unit. An interesting approach to the
unit template though.

Of course not. What you should probably do is to enable changing MACs in
/etc/default/macchanger. And probably look at
/etc/macchanger/ifupdown.sh for the implementation details.


Doing the same thing with systemd would take a drastically different
approach, involving creation of .link files.
