There's actually a built in way to remove them in settings. System Settings -> Menu Bar.

You can uncheck or drag items around in the menu bar and group some inside of the menu bar control (and even create new menu bar controls).

I wish you could add third party apps to them, maybe that'll be next. But it's nice you can hide any apps icon right there.

Great now just need the same for the window corners and ridiculous Finder overlays.

Exactly.

I blame apple for making me run an old macOS version because I don't want to look at this ugly mess they've created. I've been running macOS since 2008, and unless they manage to turn things around, my next laptop won't be an apple.

This is for the icons in the drop-down menus, not the icons in the menu bar.

Usually I like Apple’s OS updates but Tahoe is absolutely awful from the glass to the noddy sizing of everything. MacOS does not have to harmonise with VisionOS at all and it’s been a disaster for macOS to try.

This is not what the article is about though?

It could have used a screen shot.
