If you think Impeachment is hard, the 25th Amendment is ten times harder.

Sure, Democrats in Congress are openly talking about, but I have not heard a peep from a single Republican or member of the executive branch.
The people who can actually do it are not discussing it unless I am completely missing something.

without a reality tv show and related low-info 'hangers-on'.

It's harder to implement than impeachment. By far.
