Hi! Why do you to disable it? Since it's hidden

Hello,

This causes application problems in the Element Web configuration file.

If I want to force the deactivation of Labs and Element Call plugin features, for example, if I activate devtools with /devtools and check the “Developer mode” box, when we then go to “Settings: Labs,” we may have the option to reactivate Element Call, for example:

Although the changes are local, this poses some concerns as a Matrix server administrator.

Users can always use the browser console to make the exact same changes, or to enable devtools/labs flags, or the Matrix API directly, outside of element or via the console. Or use another client altogether. Security through obscurity is no security at all

Okay, give me a Element option that allows me to disable Element Call, Rich Text Editor, Live Location Sharing..., even though these features are forced to be disabled in the config.json file?

One cannot, given you can modify the config the app thinks it sees via the Javascript console. I mean hell you can modify the code that is being executed or runtime variables via a Javascript console.
