As I understand things, start and stop are for immediate changes.
enable and disable are for boot time. So the service is turned off
until I either start it up again manually or reboot the computer.
Then there's masking, which is a whole nother can of lawyers. And a
slew of other states. See Table 1. is-enabled output, in man systemctl.
