You can't talk about facts without providing some yourself. In one of your posts you said that "many people" are confused with Electrum's extra features. Even if that's true (which you haven't proven with statements from those many confused people), that doesn't make them useless. It just means that people don't know what they are, but that's their fault. If you don't know what something is or how to use it, you check the documentation, do a Google search, or ask on a forum, such as this one.

I am curious about why you think you get to decide what is OK and what isn't? I have said previously that I don't use Electrum's LN, but if I given a chance to get rid of it and my vote determines its future, I would vote against having it removed. Just because I don't need it, what right do I have to decide what others can do?

If you are a hodler like you said, and you use Electrum as a cold-storage (which I assume you do), how can a vulnerability in one of the features you don't like affect your wallet? If it's a properly set up cold-storage, no one can take advantage of anything over the Internet. It shouldn't be possible to establish a connection from your PC. If you have full-disk encryption and password-protected open-source OS with private keys and seeds stored offline, no one can steal your personal information even if given physical access to your computer.
