Hi TheHLT,
Re: "Turn off sections in reminder : I have been searching for a way to disable/turn off sections in Reminder".
You don't have to use a Grocery list, sorted automatically into categories if that's not what you want.
ie: You can just create a "Standard" List ... Name it anything you want ... (Grocery Store Name / Date ?).
Apple Support's online article (link below) has the "how to" info. for iOS 18.
You can: Organize multiple lists in Reminders on iPhone - Apple Support
Eg: says:
"Organize multiple lists in Reminders on iPhone
In the Reminders app, you can create new lists, organize the lists into groups, and pin lists for quick access.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when you use updated reminders in iCloud. Some features aren’t available when using other accounts.
Make a new list
Go to the Reminders app on your iPhone.
Tap Lists (in the top-left corner).
Tap Add List.
Enter a name, then choose a color and symbol for the list.
Tap List Type, then choose Standard, Groceries, or Smart List. "
There are other organizing tips etc. in the above linked article.

Re: "I hope that Apple listens and reads and offers a way to disable this feature in an upcoming update".
We are all Apple users, like yourself in the community, so it is very unlikely Apple would read your comments here.

If you wish: You can send feedback to Apple : They will likely not reply, yet your feedback reaches those who work behind-the-scenes at Apple, and can make changes if others are also requesting them. All feedback is carefully read, and logged. Web-form : Feedback - Reminders - Apple
All the best :-)
