Sidecar is a fun feature to toy around with if you own an iPad, but it's another gimmick that makes MacOS even more bloated. It seems like MacOS is trying to establish a connection with my iPad Pro 11 everytime I press the Fullscreen button, since it often takes a couple seconds before my windows actually go fullscreen. In Mojave pressing fullscreen was instant.
Since I definitely do not plan on utilizing this feature in the future, I'm wondering: is there a way to disable Sidecar completely? Be it with a Terminal Command?

Code:
defaults write com.apple.sidecar.display AllowAllDevices -bool false && defaults write com.apple.sidecar.display hasShownPref -bool false
