creation during boot. musl libc does not natively support UTMP and so some musl-basd distros may not make use of/update UTMP files (i.e. Alpine in the scenario where the utmps package in not installed or configured). Other Linux distros, especially those using systemd, may be making use of wtmpdb (via systemd-login) as an alternative. Therefore it makes sense to provide a configuration setting to prevent OpenRC from creating utmp-related files.
