Testing with emacs -q:
Both are "'t", but C-c C-a still doesn't turn on the file chooser.
I still need to click "Attach File" from the tool bar to do that.
But I want C-c C-a also to do that. But it doesn't.
emacs-version "26.3",

We also note some side effects mentioned
"On some platforms, file selection dialogs are also enabled if this is
non-nil."

I hope all this isn't too bundled together.

(I want a way to have C-c C-a call the file chooser,
but have both variables still nil (which is in fact how I usually have them.)
