Thanks for the report. The UI here is confusing indeed. The issue is that Show Emitter setting is not actually a setting of the particle system, but of the object. It can't be a setting of the particle system, because then you'd run into conflicts when there are multiple particle systems.

Possible fixes would be to rename Show Emitter to something else, that makes this more clear, or to remove the checkbox from the particle settings entirely.

Alternatively, we could just leave it as is, this is really a ui question.

This two settings are the same:
