That means something else is broken. By commenting out that line, you
effectively broke your system.
Yes, it's now doing what you want, but in the wrong manner. There's probably
other things going on that you don't need, or things that you want that
aren't running.

Perhaps you haven't been following the whole thread. I've had:
id:3:initdefault:
for a long time without effect. It was not until I commented out:
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
that I finally was able boot without X automatically starting.
