Thanks for pitching in here! Allow me to comment on a few of your
suggestions, though.
As a general comment, these are applications which are started when your
session is initiated. Many of them are infrastructure, daemon-type
programs which do not directly expose a user interface. Therefore
I think that as long as it's included and used in Ubuntu, we should
fix it. It's a completely trivial fix anyway. Immediately perfect
and improve the things you can, work carefully and thoughtfully on the
things you can't.
