Does the "Custom Script" setting inside the sharepoint admin center affect modern sites (Communication or Team sites)

Question

I did many tests and reading and i did not find a clear answer if the "Custom Script" setting inside the sharepoint admin center affect modern sites (Communication or Team sites). for example i did this test:-

1. inside the sharepoint admin center >> settings >> Custom Script >> i enable custom script as follow (i did this around 7 days ago):-

2. then if:-

   • I (as the office 365 and sharepoint admin) create a modern site (communication or team)
   • OR any end user directly create a communication modern site or team modern site
   • OR and end user create an office 365 group.

the generated sharepoint modern sites will always have custom script disabled. so can i conclude that the "Custom Script" settings inside the sharepoint admin center does not affect modern sites (Communication or Team sites)?and when the setting mentioned "self-service created sites" this does not cover modern site created by end users or created through creating office 365 group? Thanks.

The setting removes the Deny add customizes pages (although you also need to run Set-SPOSite -denyaddandcustomizepages $false). This allows you to do things like add a template to a site content type or add a SharePoint 2010 workflow.
