Forge not loading automatically when deferring use-package

[david-alvarez-rosa]

Forge is not loading automatically when using (setq use-package-always-defer t) with a minimal setup

(use-package magit :bind ("C-c g" . 'magit-status))
(use-package forge :after magit)

Can be fixed by explicitly requiring forge from magit

(use-package magit
  :bind ("C-c g" . 'magit-status)
  :config (require 'forge))
(use-package forge :after magit)

but doesn't feel like an elegant solution. Am I missing something?
