That's a wrong assumption. NM doesn't wait until the user has started.
It is a system service which starts at boot. nm-applet(GNOME) or
Knetworkmanager (KDE) is just a frontend to the system service called
NM. It is possible to write a console frontend to do a similar task for
the non-desktop case but NM atleast initially was designed to make
wireless network access easier. It has grown additional functionality
over time however.
