This fails with some older versions of Emacs since these had a bug where
parts of the init scripts were processed even when you said explicitly
that they shouldn't be read.

With the version of Emacs you have that should work, yes.

Leave it alone.  Unless you _are_ planning to build your own Emacs
without it, nothing can be done that might not lead to hard to find
problems later on.  If you're willing to experiment, look at

testing/org-batch-test-init.el

for how to get rid of the pre-installed Org (or at least those parts
that I know about).  Obviously it works in batch mode, otherwise we'd
have tons of complaints about it; but I can't really say if there might
be problems with a full-fledged GUI Emacs session.
