That setting being deselected means exactly nothing. It's the same state as
on Debian, Devuan or even systemd-only Red Hat. All that Gentoo did was
adding a convenience switch that, when triggered, turns on everything needed
to use systemd. These settings happen to be on on any general-purpose
distribution as, tight embedded excepted, you want stuff like fanotify or
being able to run containers.
