Agreed. In most cases users just want to set or unset a shortcut, not
disable/enable custom shortcuts.

kmonad[0] may be a useful tool for your circumstances. It allows you to use
ordinary keys as modifiers when held (e.g., I configured my z,x,c, to also act
as ctrl, meta, and alt respectively, and similarly on the right).
If you are using a mechanical keyboard that supports QMK [1], that also
provides this functionality (and more) at a firmware level.
