Just want to turn off the Home Bar
I want to be able to turn off the annoying home bar at the top (the unhideable application frame thing).

In future there is a way to do it if you have a saved custom workspace — this is from here:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-hide-application-bar/td-p/10752718
----
Note that in these instructions, "Start_CurrentWorkspace.xml" — could be named after your custom workspace.
Also note that these values "Version 17.0/en_GB/" will be different based on your version of INDD and the language set.On a Mac, open the files "Start_CurrentWorkspace.xml" and "Essentials_CurrentWorkspace.xml" in this folder (may differ slightly depending on your version of InDesign):
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 17.0/en_GB/Workspaces/
Find this line:<app-container-control-bar id="64" origin="1 44" size="595 37" is-closed="false"/>
And change it to:
<app-container-control-bar id="64" origin="1 44" size="595 37" is-closed="true"/>
