If you are a hodler like you said in your first post, but you saw the arbitrary messages that malicious server operators posted in the past, you are using Electrum as a hot wallet and that's not the recommended way. The positive thing is that you didn't fall victim to the phishing messages. If you used Electrum as a cold wallet, you wouldn't have to worry about server messages, LN, invoices, etc. You can't drown if there is no water and if you are in a desert.  Wink  
I never said I have only one wallet/setup/electrum/device. My hodling wallet and stacking wallet are on different devices and have a different setup.
You can (if you want that) even run different setups/electrums on the same device by combining the installed, stand alone and portable versions of electrum.

Sorry, I don't see it. If you don't want to use some of the features, don't do it. It really is that easy.

Electrum wasn't developed to fit just one type of person. I have never used an Invoice on Electrum. But I have also never clicked on it by mistake or just for the fun of it. I have never used the console tab either (can be switched on/off from the settings), but I have never accidently opened it when trying to generate an address. Just use the stuff you need and forget about those you don't.
Hiding features doesn't make them go away. Hiding possible vulnerabilities doesn't make them go away...
