Because that's disabled by default.
Nope. The installer expicity is asking "if I want macchanger change the mac
whenever the device is activated". Yes/No, I set "Yes". Check dpkg-reconfigure
macchanger.
So I looked around and I found some explanations in an Ubuntu forum.
This is tellingm, I need to add a systemd.service, so that this is
executed at every boot:

Of course, I could do so.
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.
Yes, that is the question: Should it be added so by default?
However, if this is changed, because Debian is using systemd now, and
macchanger is not adapted to this changes of Debian, should I file a
bugreport?
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.
I rechecked, and everything is set as YES.
Doing the same thing with systemd would take a drastically different
approach, involving creation of .link files.
I know, and this should be done by the maintainer, if necessary and wanted.

Hello Hans,
I would suggest filing a bug at normal/wishlist priority against macchanger
and pointing out that you need this to work with systemd.
There are example files for writing the necessary systemd scripts: if
one of those can be readily adapted, then it should be a relatively
simple task.
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
Maybe not relevant for you, but if you are using network-manager you can
tell it to randomize your MAC address for wifi, scanning and connection:
NetworkManager.conf:Wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=
NetworkManager.conf:wifi.mac-address-randomization=
I don't know if the same option is available for ethernet.
