The XML config nodes `default\payment\<payment method>\active` with the «0» value are unnecessary and can be deleted without any impact on the system behaviour

The \Magento\Payment\Model\Method\AbstractMethod::isActive() method returns false whenever <active> node contains 0 or there is no <active> node at all, so all the default\payment\<payment method>\active nodes with the 0 value could be dropped:

    return (bool)(int)$this->getConfigData('active', $storeId);
