The .link files are actually udev configuration, not systemd-networkd (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.link.html).
But you're right that we should not try to attempt to reload systemd-networkd if no .network configuration was changed (but only .link configuration). Therefore, avoiding the crash.
