It is madness, yes. There are multiple wasy to fix it: Bookworm vs Bullseye - A Guide section 3 but none of them are easy if you can only run your Pi headless.Or you might find that both devices assign themselves fallback default addresses in the 169.254 address range.
The laptop might but RPiOS Bookworm doesn't. Which, frankly, is a pita, when the only link you have is a point to point one.
That is madness, despite things falling back to link-local addressees often being a pain to me, it is obviously something that should exist by default.
Apparently it is fixable with the current release of systemd in RPiOS bookworm https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... orkmanager
