What does or does not run by default is actually determined by /etc/defaults/rc.conf. /etc/rc.conf is an override file, if you will. My guess here is that if you choose not to use the "internet super server" during the installation, it alters the rc.conf located in /etc/defaults rather than adding a line in /etc/rc.conf to disable inetd.
