Can these be removed or at least have the option to turn them off. They allow both sides to cheat by looking ahead at at any variation they want to. Maybe some correspondence players think this is OK; I do not.

I am not talking about the opening. At any stage of the game you can test any variation you want.
That's literally what correspondence is for? The engineless analysis board can be used regardless whether you use conditional premoves or not. These premoves only serve to save time. If you're too afraid of cheating you shouldn't play correspondence in general!
However , even if they are taken off its just extremely easy to set the sme position on some other board.
For me, it's a time-saving measure. Occasionally, I get that opponent who will only move every 23 hours, so when I can guess what he'll do next, I set my premove. Has nothing to do with cheating.
