 As @celloexpressions explained, if you really do want to disable it, then
 you ''can'' disable it, but via a method that makes sense: capabilities.
 You're wanting to prevent user X from doing action Y which is exactly what
 capabilities, not filters, are designed for.

 And modifying capabilities is not difficult (and there might even be a
 better way than this):

 {{{
 add_filter( 'user_has_cap' , function( $allcaps ) {
         unset( $allcaps['edit_theme_options'] );
         return $allcaps;
 } );
 }}}

 The admin bar is different in that it's a feature and not a tool. The
 context "can user X use the admin toolbar" doesn't make as much sense as
 "should the toolbar be enabled".
