In flight software systems its normal to completely remove modules of the program for flight modes your mission profile is not supposed to execute.

This is why, for example, a dragon cargo capsule once survived a launch vehicle failure but had no programming to use its parachutes in a launch failure condition. It could only use them in a return from orbit. The software module had been developed for crewed flights, but for cargo they hadn't planned for a survivable launch abort because cargo dragon has no abort superdraco engines. Afterwards, they decided to make provisions for a cargo launch abort in the off chance a cargo dragon would survive a rocket breakup despite having no escape thrusters.
