I don't mind having a chat feature in Thunderbird, but due to my deeply ingrained hatred towards Google, I want Gtalk completely gone from my Linux PC. It's obsolete anyway. How do I remove it from Chat on Thunderbird? Is it integrated into the Thunderbird deb package, or some sort of plugin or separate package? I don't mind losing the entire chat feature, since I don't use it anyway.

Not sure what you're talking about. Thunderbird would support setting up a Google Talk account. Whether you want to do that or not is up to you. Just because it's possible doesn't mean you have to do it. And btw, Thunderbird also supports to set up Gmail accounts.

I don't mind Thunderbird being able to access Gmail as with any IMAP/POP server, or even authenticate using Oauth2. What I don't like is having code written to specifically access Google API.
