You are mixing sender and receiver: You cannot disable colors in the xterm binary (receiver) via termcap; instead you must restrict what the sender outputs via termcap: Xterm won't add colors when not requested. Also, not all programs use termcap. Classic VI and Emacs are probably good example who do use termcap/terminfo.
I've read a lot about it and start to understand what you mean.
That's a translation in the receiver. You could also represent bold by colored text, but that's something different. Also if the ANSI escape sequences are hard-coded (monoculture?), you're out of luck.
Well, as far as I understand the ascii sequences are hard-coded in systemd, and between v234 and v246 some sequences were added for printing parts of the boot messages in bold. So all I can do is indeed disabling bold fonts in the receiver, i.e. xterm. And as xterm has a builtin function for that, it's quite easy to turn them on and off on-the-fly...
