When SpringApplication loads instances via spring.factories it's quite hard to change, customize or remove them. Often users need to resort to a BeanFactoryPostProcessor or the like.
For example, the LoggingApplicationListener has a setParseArgs method, but it's very hard to actually call it.
Another example is documented in #24878 where specific listeners needed to be removed.
We might be able to offer a Customizer interface that would allow instances to be changed to removed. Something like:
SpringApplication application = new StringApplication(MyApp.class);
application.addSpringFactoryInstanceCustomizer((LoggingApplicationListener) listener -> listener.setParseArgs(false));

@Tharik67 thanks for the offer but we're not quite sure how we would approach this. I've added a label to make that more clear.
