In NetBSD, the (base system) rc.d scripts are always available,
whether or not the service has been enabled by the sysadmin.

In Solaris, the init.d scripts for disabled services don't exist;
the sysadmin removes the link.

In Linux, the init.d scripts for disabled services don't exist;
the sysadmin won't have had them installed by the package
management system.

So, I don't feel that your comparison isn't 100% relevant.
