    OP, as promised, I've been checking out various theories for removal on the G4 and as far as I can tell, another launcher is required.

    You seem to be right...Google have made it hard to remove from home screen.

    It seems like there isn’t any way to remove ‘google search bar’?

    On the locked screen, how do I remove the icons microphone (left) and camera (right)?

    Thanks

    I recently upgraded Moto G to Moto G4. I remember I got rid of ‘google search bar’ from Moto G without installing another browser. I can’t seem to find an answer on Moto G4 without installing another browser.

    Any answers to #14 about icons?

    Thanks

    You don't have to install another browser, you need another launcher, that's all.

    Even though it's from two years ago I assumed it'd apply to the Moto G4 as I've a Moto G (2nd Gen) running Android Marshmallow and guessed it'd be similar software wise.
