rkhunter says apps not checked at users request. Thats ews to me.

I just ran rkhunter for the first time on a new system. I noticed that the
log noted that apps and hidden apps were disabled at the users request. Am
I missing something in the logic or is there something wrong here. Here's
a relevant part of the log. What caused rkhunter to not check hidden
processes and the apps? Or is this normal behavior?
