> Let’s agree on not agreeing. I just would like you to understand that it’s not “annoyance” I’m trying to express. I’m just trying to voice my concern that this auto-completion may impact on some people's ability to use Emacs. Concentration deficits are no joke.

IME, these completions are more or less the de-facto standard nowadays
in many text-editing environments, so I don't think many people will
be distracted to such a great degree.  I'd rather think they should
expect it.  But time will tell who is right.

> On an Emacsish plane, what puzzles me is that the only way I’m able to disable this feature is in early-init.el because the auto-completion function is added when initializing text-mode. 

You should be able to disable it at any point, provided that you use
Customize or setopt.  If this somehow doesn't work, please submit a
bug report with all the details.

> And I’m worried that a feature with such an impact was so little documented.

It is documented in the same section where Text Mode is described.
But if you have suggestions for improvements in the documentation of
this feature, please send them.
