I both love and hate this feature at the same time. For my intranet portal this is perfect, I would barely have to do much to get this how I want it.
However we have built another portal for our volunteers (10,000) the base of which are not tech savvy by any means so we have spent considerable time and money customizing a few site collections to work like an application. The volunteers see nothing but giant buttons and can't click away from the site. They would also have NO business accessing our intranet portal or any other section we have setup. So for this "app" I would love the ability to turn off the app bar all together.
We also have project sites that are totally separate from the other two sections I mentioned and also would not have the same navigation or be connected to our intranet portal. So for this section I would love the ability to keep the power bar but customize the global nav.
We need the ability to customize it a bit more or turn it off where needed so I am not left scrambling to try and figure out the best work around for our volunteer section. I have turned it off in our live tenant and am working on testing it out in our dev tenant for now.

- I've turned it "off" globally - because it's too intrusive for something of such limited value - by using our custom stylesheet injected with an SPFx extension. You could try that option and target the sites you want to hide it on.
- Yeah I think this is the way to go. I already have this on another site where I wanted to hide things via css. It's such a pain to have to go around something that was already working for us smoothly. Thanks for the suggestion Matt.
