Does the "enabled" flag do anything?

MKV playback, recompression, remuxing, codec packs, players, howtos, etc.

Does the "enabled" flag in the container do anything at all? Has anyone noticed any effect from it?

It's not listed in ffmpeg -dispositions and it's not listed in mediainfo.

Toggling it on and off has no effect in SMPlayer, VLC or Kodi.

I'm asking because I know there was a "Apex" set-top DVD player many, many years ago that did hide the stream, but that was ~20 years ago and it was the only thing I ever saw that observed it.
