My guess is that network-online.target was chosen for wg-quick because DNS resolving of endpoints might be required.
For this target to become effective this requires either systemd-networkd or a recent version NetworkManager to be running
(or any other service, which makes its connection state a dependency of |network-online.target|).

Once wireguard becomes integrated into systemd-networkd, networkd will just retry forever to resolve endpoints with exponential back-off.
