I'm a little confused, too.  But, it might be more informative to query 
the system for "network.target" than "network.service" since the former 
is the one missing.

# rpm -V systemd
# locate network.target
/usr/lib/systemd/system/network.target
# systemctl status network.target
● network.target - Network
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/network.target; static; 
vendor preset: disabled)
