Relatively new, it's called "background retention" and it can be easily disabled as desired. Without this functionality, users had to keep "dummy" jobs (sometimes for years!) with a small VM in it just to ensure that the retention policy keeps being processed for all removed VMs.
But now even if the original job does not exists, the background retention process will clean up backups according to their last know retention policy.
There are however also other/better tools to keep backups indefinitely these days, like Export Backup or Copy Backup features.
