Re: Anyone actually use that ...
e. any process that tries to open port 111 for any reason has the side effect of starting rpcbind if its not already running.
You should probably check that some incarnation of "inetd" is not enabled / running and configured to run "rcpbind". Most installations do not need "intetd" functionality, today I believe that dedicated daemons for each service are preferred.

Of Course:
systemd supports inetd services, and expands socket activation beyond IP messaging (AF INET+6) to include AF UNIX, AF NETLINK and more.[2][3]
