Quoting <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33060#c19> "Bundled extensions can not be disabled": 
I'm not sure whether it is explicitly stated anywhere, but one obvious use case
for bundled (and/or shared) extensions is to let an admin install an extension
that enforces some feature (e.g., makes some configuration entry read-only) so
that users cannot override it.  That use case would be negatively affected by
allowing users to disable bundled (and/or shared) extensions.  (And the
recently added safe-mode,
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#Safe_Mode>, may
negatively affect this too; would need looking into.)
So I tried to check whether that safe-mode feature allows to disable bundled and/or shared extensions: With current master on Linux, 'soffice --safe-mode' starts LO and displays a "Safe Mode" dialog that offers (among other options) an "Uninstall extensions" radio button with attached check boxes "Uninstall all user extensions" and "Uninstall all extensions (including shared and bundled)". But, even after selecting the "Uninstall extensions" radio button, the two check boxes remain disabled. 

Can somebody clarify?
