I can't even get visual studio code to stop showing that right-hand sidebar every time it opens up, regardless of what settings I use. It seems to work for a while, and then it appears again like magic.

I'm not sure how many more times they have to hit you straight in the face before you realize you're a victim here and need to get away from the abuser as much as you can, not try to "salvage" the situation.

have you tried adding this to your settings json? workbench.secondarySideBar.defaultVisibility": "hidden",

It's still annoying to have it by default even if you do make use of it.
