What is the purpose of generatePodDisruptionBudget

Hi!
Taking a look at how I think the variable generatePodDisruptionBudget: true should work, I can't understand the meaning of the following code in the Helm chart.

{{- if ne .Values.generatePodDisruptionBudget true}}
      - name: STRIMZI_POD_DISRUPTION_BUDGET_GENERATION
        value: {{ .Values.generatePodDisruptionBudget | quote }}
{{- end }}

https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/main/helm-charts/helm3/strimzi-kafka-operator/templates/060-Deployment-strimzi-cluster-operator.yaml#L156

Is it really intended? If that is the case, what is the purpose of it?

Thanks.

Not a Helm Expert, but I guess it means that if the generatePodDisruptionBudget from the values file is not equal to true, the environment variable will be set with generatePodDisruptionBudget as its value. It allows you to disable the Pod Disruption Budget maintenance if needed by setting it to false while not injecting the environment variable by default (as it defaults to true anyway).
