I'm afraid that this cannot be considered a bug. It is thinkable that users have deactivated handlers and prepare a service plan for later use so that once they activate the handlers they can be selected from the plan again. A similar behavior can be observed when a user uses a PHP version that is deactivated. As long as the account does not change that version, it can continue to use it. Only once the user changes the version, the entry disappears from the user's drop down. But in general, as long as the handler exists on the server, it is not really totally gone.

A colleague mentioned that the same question came up in 2018 by someone (tracked as [PPS-4287]), but back then we also meant that it is currently set "by design". However, if you think this should be changed, I suggest opening a Uservoice request on Feature Suggestions: Top (1832 ideas) – Your Ideas for Plesk so that people can vote on it.
