Well, quoting your initial message, you said:

Nowhere in there you said that you wanted to know how to disable it in
Fedora.

And since the quote from Lennart you took ("The good news for embeded
folks...") is from an upstream context and not a Fedora one, I guess
people assumed you wanted to know how to build systemd without those
components.

At least that's what I understood from your message.

Those services are DBus activated if I recall correctly.

That means that something else is requesting them on DBus, and so they
get automatically started.

If something is requesting them, then something needs them.
