They have "Jamendo Selections" nowadays, but that service offers independent music under creative commons licences, you can also right click and remove it.

Did the VLC people get paid to include the Jamendo plugin? Because it's not sponsored if they weren't (I realize you never claimed otherwise).

Are you sure? For me, I can only "Disable" it, and it gets promptly re-enabled right after clicking on some other item in the sidebar.

There doesn't seem to be any way to disable it permanently, or, preferably, removing it entirely.

This list is filled with a LUA script in a VLC dir, and you can override it with a user list. IT's not available through GUI but if it bothers you it's possible to remove it entirely that way.
Unfortunately on a Mac, by touching files in the app bundle (VLC.app/Content/MacOS/share/lua/playlist) you break the app signature :(
