That is irrelevant.  I don't know what you don't understand ---
"disabled" means disabled, i. e. cannot be started.  Systemd is buggy
because when you disable a service, the service can still be started.
That means that the service is not disabled.

Besides, dbus shouldn't start any services, that would be insane.
