They're hand-waved away by saying the changelogs are bad and the semver isn't always accurate. While I mostly agree with, that doesn't mean they don't provide _some_ value. You get categorized changelogs (even if the messages are technical) and semver that's generally correct. The alternative of good changelogs and perfect semver isn't free.
They can be disabled. Click the settings cog.

To address your concerns, every major browser supports css media queries. Gmail could simply hide the elements when the user tries to use the browser's print button. Again, this is designed to remove plausible deniability, not to provide an actually secure service. It's still email after all.

Does Rocket have subdomain support? I didn't see it in the documentation.
