The answer depends on another question: why bother unsetting tab-bar keys
while disabling tab-bar-mode globally?  I mean the lines in tab-bar-mode
after ";; Unset only keys bound by tab-bar".  Maybe it's useful to make the
keybindings space cleaner?

PS: please see the bug report sent yesterday to emacs-devel at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-07/msg00251.html

It seems the variable tab-bar-mode should be frame-local.
