Not the first time...
I wish and can only hope they will also be equaly trigger happy to press the you're-fired button.
(aimed at he/she/they who released it too soonish)

I probably misunderstand you here, but even with a very small update, beta testers were always contacted first in Patchou's era.

Nevertheless, this and neither previous builds were 'small', in the sense that nothing needed to be tested and (especially) nothing needed to be translated. Even in previous builds stuff was added which required translation. And now it happened yet again.... :(

Can't you do anything more? As in, force them to do the proper thing?

Plus! service can be disable from the preference menu like it was before. If it does not behave as so then it is a bug.
PlusService.exe is correctly removed when you disable "Notify me when an update is available". But wouldn't it be better to split that option now that there is an external app running, and put the update-check back into Plus! itself (where it belongs)?

I do want to be informed of new updates, but I do not want yet another app running in the background all the time, and this to simply check if my Plus! installation is ok.

Checking for updates can be done from within Plus!, like it always has been, and like any other program does.

Yes, but your point is?
Those EULAs were included since Plus! 4.x.
see some (older) threads in the Translation forum in regards to that.

Not quite (as in completely removing it)...
You also need to remove some stuff in your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\PlusService
