How to remove the Add to Cart button from Catalog pages in Magento 2?

In Magento 2 they've hardcoded them into the catalog product list template.

This can be found around line 80 of app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/list.phtml:

<?php if ($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
    <?php $postParams = $block->getAddToCartPostParams($_product); ?>
    <form data-role="tocart-form" action="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $postParams['action']; ?>" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" name="product" value="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $postParams['data']['product']; ?>">
        <input type="hidden" name="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo Action::PARAM_NAME_URL_ENCODED; ?>" value="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $postParams['data'][Action::PARAM_NAME_URL_ENCODED]; ?>">
        <?php echo $block->getBlockHtml('formkey')?>
        <button type="submit"
                title="<?php echo $block->escapeHtml(__('Add to Cart')); ?>"
                class="action tocart primary">
            <span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Add to Cart') ?></span>
        </button>
    </form>

A few options exist to suppress them:

• Create an around plugin for the block and change $_product->isSaleable() to return false for the render of the template, and swap it back afterward
• Replace this template in your custom theme's layout
• Hide with CSS

Honestly hiding via CSS isn't the worst option here:

.catalog-category-view .action.tocart { display: none; }
