Why LOG_BACKEND_RTT is forcefully selected if SHELL_BACKEND_RTT is not selected #76291

The SHELL backends and LOG backends have different usage and following line in Kconfig gives some undesired side effect of enabling RTT logging when it is not needed, requiring projects to disable this explicitly.

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/8ca14a7762ab055525dc4d59ed130c99a232eb32/subsys/logging/backends/Kconfig.rtt#L7

I think this line should be removed.
