In the docs its states for stock status of "Out of Stock" the following
Unless Backorders are activated, prevents the product from being
available for purchase and removes the listing from the catalog."
This then implies I should set my products to be "Out of Stock" but enable backorders so I have the following settings as shown in the screenshot below:

I have tried to reindex and flushed all the caches but still no luck. Could any one advise?
