That is (was? not sure what the systemd and gnome people have decided for us) the intended behaviour. The network setup is part of the system configuration, not owned by a normal user.

Of course the problem you describe is real, and the solution is full disk encryption (FDE). It's offered by some disks (pro: hardware, easy to use, everything encrypted, even /boot. con: manufacturer backdoored), or software solutions like cryptsetup/dm-crypt.

FWIW, there is potentially a lot more information in /etc, /tmp, /var/tmp, etc. which you wouldn't want an attacker to get access to, so FDE is pretty much a must if you care about such things.
