How, exactly, did you determine that? [*] As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

It should be disabled by default.

I wouldn't expect UPnP to matter. ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management should control the feature.
[*] o What, exactly, is the URL which you specify in your web browser?
o Is it the URL shown at ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote
Management : Remote Management Address"?
o Are you doing this from somewhere on your LAN, or from an outside-world site?
If you're testing from inside your LAN, then the "NAT loopback" feature of the R7000 could make it appear that a request to the WAN/Internet IP address of the R7000 will get a response, but the result from the outside world could be quite different. A more realistic test (actually from the outside world) would be more trustworthy.

You are correct on the NAT loopback. I was checking it on my cell phone and inadvertantly left WiFi on. Once on cellular, can no longer access the router.
Thanks.
