That proves "Custom" is not exactly what it says. You can do the same
thing with Novice. ALL installation modes give you the same granularity
of components. The difference is:
Novice -- automatically steps through all phases of installation, with
explanations at each step
Expert -- automatically steps through all phases of installation
Custom -- requires the user to select by hand the installation phases
All the Custom installation really gives you is:
* The ability to avoid phases you won't be needing
* The ability to shoot yourself in the foot
The last one can be useful in some rather rare cases.

Exactly. That's not how FreeBSD installation options are set up. Which
is the whole point.
