switch active ssid with iwd

I have an XPS 15 9500, and a macbook pro 15 (mid-2014)

Both machines are fully updated with mainline archlinux kernel.

I successfully switched my xps from netctl to iwd, and thought I'd give it a try on my macbook. Problem that is bothering me is that the macbook requires me to explicitly disconnect from one network before connecting to another, while my xps allows me to just "iwctl station wlan0 scan && sleep 1s && iwctl station wlan0 connect my_other_ssid"

They both use the same configuration, setting iwd to use the built-in dhcp client with the "EnableNetworkConfiguration=true", and I also turned off periodic scanning if either of those is relevant.

I've fully ensured all other network services are disabled, except for nic specific "ifplugd@_mydevice_.service" calling an ifplugd.action script that starts "dhcpcd@_mydevice_.service" when triggered.

Any insight as to why my macbook is requiring an explicit call to "iwctl station wlan0 disconnect" prior to connecting to another ssid?
