But lots of users do care, so dropping them by default is not an option.

It depends entirely on what operation you're talking about.

You cannot find what? The menu item is there, 3rd item in the Database
menu.
BTW, this item is meant for converting (old style) linked file and URL
fields to the (new) linked files you may see in the side pane.

If you export "minimal BibTeX", it will only include required and
optional fields. What these are can be seen and changed in the Default
Fields preferences (Custom BibTeX Types and Fields). The URL and DOI
fields are not included there for most types, unless you've added it
yourself. If this is what you mean with "only export standard bibtex
fields", than you must bve doing something wrong, because it works for
me.
