Does splunkd service sends a signal to the data input to start the script even if the modular input is disabled?

I'm aware about the fact to remove the inputs.conf before installing the TAs collecting the logs on the SHC but if the inputs are still present in the disabled state I'm getting errors like "Unable to initialize modular input".

Hence, want to understand if the scripts continues running in the backend even if the inputs are in disabled state and throws error or is it something else I'm not aware about?

I am curious about this, could you say which TA is trying to initialize the modular input even if the inputs.conf stanzas are disabled?
