Description
### Describe the bug
There's a miss-alignemnt on how settings behave (are changed) whenever Basic Functionality is disabled.
Some settings are disabled, but some other keep the toggle enabled despite being disabled in reality (ie Security Alerts, DEcode Smart Contracts, Estimate balance changes).
Extra note: whenever Basic functionality is enabled, all toggles are re-enabled except Metametrics -> that is expected for Legal reasons.
### Expected behavior
We should align the behaviour of the toggles --> all 3rd party toggles should be automatically disabled if Basic Func is disabled?
### Screenshots/Recordings

### Steps to reproduce
1. Go to Security Settings
2. Disable Basic Functionality
3. See some toggles which use 3rd party requests, remain enabled (despite being disabled in reality)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the Security Settings flow and reproduce the behavior by disabling Basic Functionality, checking Security Alerts, Decode Smart Contracts, and Estimate balance changes. Trace how these toggles reflect the disabled state and verify that the affected third-party settings consistently show the expected state, while Metametrics retains its documented exception.
