code for blocksonly disagrees with documentation #17294

The docs for blocksonly say that "Transactions from the wallet or RPC are not affected" but the code says:

if (gArgs.GetBoolArg("-blocksonly", DEFAULT_BLOCKSONLY) && gArgs.SoftSetBoolArg("-walletbroadcast", false)) {
    LogPrintf("%s: parameter interaction: -blocksonly=1 -> setting -walletbroadcast=0\n", __func__);
}

Here's the relevant documentation:

-blocksonly
   Whether to reject transactions from network peers. Transactions from the
   wallet or RPC are not affected. (default: 0)

-walletbroadcast
   Make the wallet broadcast transactions (default: 1)

Doesn't that imply that blocksonly does affect transactions from the wallet?
