I actually see the same behaviour with the CLI and TUI as I do
with the GNOME settings stuff - there's nothing obvious that
suggests that the two connections are mutually exclusive (in the
TUI they do both say "Wired Connection 1" but that's a child of
the interface so those configs look like they're per-interface).
AFAICT the exclusion is being enforced at the NM level and the
clients are just passing through what they see through the APIs.

Anyway, I'm attaching an image showing the GNOME settings app.
