Apache2 and UserDir in FreeBSD

Hello,

Does anybody know why this is happening:

I have found that with apache2, installed via portinstall on both 4.9 
and 5.x, the UserDir is enabled even if it is commented out in httpd.conf!

It is on by default in the stock httpd.conf that installs with apache2. 
If I comment it out and restart, I have found that users can still 
create "public_html" directories in their home directories, and publish 
content.

Why is this happening?

Thanks,
