NetworkManager.service has 'ProtectHome=read-only', which keeps NM from
writing there. I presume namespacing /home in this way counts against
unmounting it. This is a good security protection for everyone running
NM, so I can see it being worth the tradeoff vs. being able to move or
remove /home on a live system.

(It also has ProtectSystem=true, which mounts /usr and /boot read-only
as well.)

If you wanted to change this, drop ProtectHome=false into
/etc/systemd/system/NetworkMananger.service.d/override.conf (possibly
by using sudo systemctl edit foo NetworkMananger).
