Maybe instead of removing them outright, the option could be added to hide them, in the same way it's possible to show certain icons on your desktop. That way, the default installation is a little less cluttered, but then hiding the side pane and using these icons can also be considered aesthetically pleasing. Giving the user the option to reveal these icons would keep everyone happy in this case.
