Consider a method to remove widgets that we don't recommend being used and don't want to support in child themes #288

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In many projects, especially smaller ones we don't have time/budget or really a content need for 75% of the widgets in WP that are enabled. We should consider having a way to disable widgets that our clients don't need so we don't have to style, test, or QA them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps a Filter that let's us pass a list of widgets to disable and that fitler could execute: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/unregister_widget/ function?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Fancy version would be an admin settings page to disable widgets for ID Admins.
