I also don't see it. I though that, rightfully so, the syntax in
isearch-mode is tweaked so that parens don't match there.
This is probably the case in most minibuffers (though one still has to
deal with the `electric-pair-pairs' overrider, but not isearch, where
most keys are mapped to `isearch-printing-char' and not
`self-insert'. And this is why they are pair-free.

I would do it like this. Though I didn't test much, it looks less hacky
to me:
(electric-pair-mode 1)
(add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq-local electric-pair-pairs nil)
(setq-local electric-pair-text-pairs nil)
(setq-local electric-pair-inhibit-predicate #'identity)))
So electric-pair-mode is still active (you still get autoskipping if the
syntax determines it), but autopairing is inhibited. Is this still
annoying?
But making electric-pair-local-mode also sounds good to me.

Can you name some?
`electric-pair-pairs' and `electric-pair-text-pairs' which mean "always
always pair these" are the "eager" cases, in my opinion.
At least `electric-pair-pairs' could be made to default to nil, and
probably `electric-pair-text-pairs' too. The snippet above becomes
simpler.
If I recall correctly, `electric-pair-pairs' was kept for backward
compatibility with the original implementation of `electric-pair-mode'
that didn't deduce its behaviour from the mode's syntax.
