 > Even "simpler" to rename the plugins folder. The target users for this
 enhancement should be those who don't know how to edit `wp-config.php` or
 to rename a folder. There is no need to use FTP to run WordPress today,
 except when an unexpected fatal error occurs, perhaps after an update.
 Clicking on a "safety" bookmark or a URL in an email, is something they
 can do.

 can try.

 I don't think we should deactivate the plugins only prevent them from
 loading so you can switch back and forth easily.

 I created a proof of concept mu-plugin using rmccue's suggestion of
 defining a constant.
