I think uninstalling the "Spring Dashboard" separately would be an alternated solution as "Spring Dashboard" is optional, and even its description is "This feature provides the STS dashboard for displaying RSS feeds and the extensions page", no more function from this plugin. You may uninstall it from the About - Installation Details - Installed Software.

You can disable the STS dashboard loading on startup from the menu Window->Preferences->Spring-> Dashboard.
