Windows at least lets you disable any service you want.

And I can tell Windows search to not index some directories. Like node_module with a million small files I don't want to search in anyway except with grep.

Perhaps if macs let you configure Spotlight to ignore some directories you could tell it to ignore the entire disk? Which would disable it in practical terms.
