There's a lenghty list of unsusable Noto fonts in my Adobe apps, that I have to scroll through everytime I need to pick a font. I can't delete them via Font Book (it's in the OS folder and deleting it is disabled).

It's the only help possible with Catalina. All fonts installed by the OS are in the System folder. Fonts there cannot be deleted from the Finder desktop, or in Terminal. Not only are they in the System folder, but Catalina separates that part of the OS to a read only partition (it's read only while you're booted to that volume, not a different startup volume).
Also because they're in that location, they cannot be disabled with any font manager.
That only leaves the one solution.

No offense, but that's not terribly helpful for non-geeks. There must be a better solution. Would have been under Jobs...
The only way to remove fonts in Catalina is to startup to another partition/volume with the OS installed on it. Once there, you can delete anything you want from the non startup drive.
I'm having the same issue. And I've read elsewhere that they can't be deactivated, which is infuriating. >:\
How do I get rid of the Noto font family?
