The unit still retains After=graphical-session.target, so this does not happen.
I always boot into the TTY and can confirm the portal is not started after
logging in there.

Hmm, even in my DWM I need the portal running in order to avoid those annoying
time-outs from applications using the Gnome infrastructure, and see no
side-effects from running it. Giving that those individual applications
assume/request the portal at run-time, 'let them have it' I would say. Do you
detect any problem that running the portal in such environments could encompass?
