Why Linux startup behaves different with overlayFS?

I have an issue related to overlay filesystem, and I don't understand how to overcome it. I hope someone can help:
I have vncserver (tigervnc), and in startup I see that vncserver service has started for all users (root+user) have vncserver (tigervnc).
Recently we added overlayfs using init script as done here:
https://blockdev.io/read-only-rpi/
As you can see in above link, the overlay is above rootfs (rootfs is readonly).
At first, it seemed to me that all works the same (as without overlay).
But today I noticed a strange thing:
With overlay, only the root's vncserver has started, not the user's vncserver.
I have no idea why.
I actually assume that EVERYTHING should be the same whether I use overlay or not, including all the started services.
What can be the reason for this change in behavior of started services per user with overlay ?
The Linux is Gentoo distribution.
