I am still against removing or hiding them, special behind the same
flag as the bit rotten register2.
That is where menus are for: you can choose, there is no need to eat
the complete card.
The next time somebody may complain the business menu entries are
cluttering the whole appearance.

You asked only english speaking users. You did not ask on the other
lanhuage lists.

Because these reports are translated, they serve also as a fallback
for the missing translation of the incomplete documentation as they
show a few aspects of what can be done with reports.
When I played around decades ago with gnucash they had a promotional
and a didactical use for me.
Without them I had probaly choosen a different product, because the
standard reports with their default setting were very US-GAAP
oriented. And the examples told me it should be possible to get
something conforming DE-GOB.

That is ways to complicated and
where is the translation of that page to our over 50 supported languages?
