Agreed, Here's an idea; allow admins to control what their own users see and stop trying to force things on users by cluttering up their interface with useless stuff.

Same here, I just tested it.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your request, but pinning a report to the left nav bar of projects requires you to put the report in a dashboard and pin the dashboard.

In fact, it still shows up in the new home as well. It's greyed out but still visible. I know another admin who turned it off and some users can still click on it and use it even though it's disabled.

There is also this setting  

Priorities is nether simplified nor will it help MY users organise their work. I thought it was lesson learned from the blueprints menu item everyone complained about.  

Yep, I've been pushing for that for years. It seems like every time something is added, admins lose control over it. ie., New Home, Balancer filters, for a few months the Blueprints icon in the waffle menu, importing from MS Project, etc.

That sounds more like a bug to me, especially if all the other pages behave correctly. It's pretty easy to fix.
