IIUC

systemctl get-default

returns the final target. This should be graphical.target.

systemctl status systemd-logind --with-dependencies --reverse

probably does list multi-user.target

systemctl status multi-user.target --with-dependencies --reverse

probably does list graphical.target

Or as a tree

systemctl list-dependencies graphical.target

I suspect that GDM depends on systemd, probably systemd-logind. Other
display manager might depend on polkit, probably lightdm. OTOH I'm using
lightdm and systemd-logind is running.

loginctl --help

Very complicated, I don't know, you likely need to read a lot.

Did try using another display manager or no display manager at all?
