I mean, that is a useful and sometimes needed feature, right?
As others already mentioned using systemd-ask-password is probably the better approach. That said, my guess is that something else also wants to take possession of the tty. Have you tried to boot with systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_level=kmsg to see what else tries to run when your input is taken away?
