Or did I install a package that switches those booleans? I am not sure about the official reason but i think it is true that atleast execmem by unconfined_t is allowed by default. If you so desire you can switch it off. Personally i can imagine why these permissions are allowed by default for unconfined_t. unconfined_t is designed to be unconfined, thus in that theory execmem, execmod. execstack and execheap would be allowed by unrestricted processes. If you want to protect/restrict user processes, than consider defaulting to restricted user domains instead of unrestricted user domains.
